There's an implementation of cmake with lua at 
http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/CMake:Experiments_With_Lua, it might be 
interesting to compare both. What I know is that, using a profiler 
(oprofile, on linux), in a big project cmake spends 5% of its execution 
time parsing the CMakeLists.txt (done by flex-generated code). It's not 
too much, IMHO.
