Is there a way to pause the game in lua?

No, pausing halts all script processing so if a script paused the game it would never be able to un-pause it.

Given what happens when you set game speed to 0.01, I can believe that. There is a good half second delay between hitting esc and the menu opening. Clearly those are coupled with gamespeed instead of being standalone like UI usually should be.

game speed 0.1 is minimum

Nope. I tested it. Its 0.01

Unless they changed in within the last day or two, anyhow.
