I have a few questions about the timer:
1) What is the best way to create a timer? Need code examples.
2) What is better, create a timer with code or create a timer in a form designer? Is there a difference between these methods?
3) Is the local timer somehow better than the global one or faster?

4) How to make it so that after executing the code in the lua engine, display/print the execution time of the code?
5) And also display/print the amount of memory used by the code. For code optimization.

1: Does the timer run repeatedly or only 1 time?

you can put it on the form or create it from lua code.
createTimer(interval,function) runs the given function one time

x=createTimer()
x.Interval=interval
x.OnTimer=function

runs the function every interval milliseconds

2: no difference. Except that the formdesigner calls a global function and code created ones can use local functions

3: not really

4: use getTickCount() when the code starts and stops to get the current time, and the difference between the two is the time the code took

5: not possible for your code specifically but you can call collectgarbage("count") to get the amount of memory used

yes you can call it every second.
