## What it is
A Lua profiler plugin for Unity that instruments xLua-based Lua code to report per-function CPU time and GC memory usage. It works in the Unity editor (local mode) and on Android devices (remote mode) via a native hook into the Lua library.

## Use cases
- profile lua script performance in unity games
- find lua functions causing high gc memory
- measure per-function lua execution time per frame
- debug lua memory leaks in xlua projects
- profile lua on android device from unity editor
- compare lua gc vs mono gc allocations

## When to choose
- you use xLua or another Lua VM inside a Unity project and need function-level profiling
- you need to profile Lua performance on Android devices remotely
- you want a free, editor-integrated alternative to commercial Unity profilers for Lua

## When to avoid
- your project does not use Lua scripting
- you need iOS profiling support (still in progress)
- you need a general-purpose C# or native code profiler
