Question Why does my thread work seem to be abnormal and the resources are not being used properly?

    My program is always stuck when running on the real machine. When the profiler is running, a certain frame takes 15 seconds. I can't believe my eyes. I want to ask why there are vacant time slices?

    That would seem to indicate the time is taken up by the internals of the lua_pcall() method itself. or perhaps it is a native function call that the Unity profiler doesn't have enough information about to display.

    Unity doesn't have any kind of official support for Lua for scripting so I guess you're using some asset store package or similar plugin? Could it be that all hat time is spend in Lua calls? The Deep Profiler can only add instrumention for C# (Mono/IL2CPP) calls so that'd be reason for there to be no profiling samples beyond this sample ...

    No idea if that Lua plugin has way to call back to Unity's ProfilerMarker code but maybe that could be a way to add instrumention yourself?

    I'd send this same question to the creators of whichever Lua plugin you are using. They probably have more experience with this issue. Also see if they have their own user forum.
