Lag and Pausing...

Is it true that pausing the server can let the scripts get caught up?
Would this reduce lag if the server could be scheduled to pause itself every little while for a minute or so instead of resets?

Yes, but only from the DM client (DM required). Not sure how well it helps longer term, reset will clear everything in local memory.

There was talk about making a DM bot a long time ago, but I don't think anyone has made anything along these lines yet. There isn't a pause button on the server gui, so you couldn't automate something from that end, which would be easiest.

I've heard that lag pausing does help but when I've been playing places that try it I can't always tell. Even when they paused for a minute. Obviously there isn't here so maybe it would be different. If you have to go longer than a minute or so a reset might just be better.
