A couple of questions:

* Where did you get it from, since I only see mention of x86, not ARM on the Luakit website
* What OS are you running
* Have you considered Chromium, since that is what RPT is supporting and what they spend extra effort optimizing

The way I managed to use luakit on the Raspberry Pi was by compiling it from the source on Github. Compiling was done by installing all (few) dependencies and running make install. See ยง "Installing from source" on their website.

Please note that I compiled it on Arch Linux ARM.
