How does the lua processing technique "blocks" redis? #43

Hi everyone,

The Readme states that the lua processing technique is substantially faster than the :ruby technique, but blocks the Redis server while each set of calculations are run

How does it "blocks" redis? For example, I have a bunch Sidekiq processes that are always accessing my redis instance, will the calculations interfere with that?

Thanks
