Hey,

You have all been so helpful so far, now I have a query rather than a help request.

Since there is no way to check how long a snippet script takes to run, I thought I would ask here, and maybe someone in the Sphere Dev team make provide some insight.

I have heard many Rumors that 'Tags cause Lag' - I'm yet to see any solid evidence of it, but just curious. Is it true that the more tags a player has, the higher the chance of him experiencing lag?

So, I was wondering, storing our Tags in a database, would querying our database be quicker than checking a tag? If the time taken is the same (or less), then maybe this could reduce the load on Sphere dramatically?

I would be cautious about storing tags which update more often in the database, as the last thing I want it 100 connections to the database updating and inserting at once.

We are moving to be more reliable on Stored Procedures in a database for our accounts system, 'MyUO' clone and game launcher. And just wondered about Tags.

Any ideas? I could test it, but i doubt i would notice it easily without being able to time how long scripts take in ms.
