Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the script obsolete now? I think party fixed this

[starf]

i just tested this for half an hour and the performance gain is enormous, going to test it again now

[starf]

so i tested it again, what i did was open 6 tiled tables with hud and everything running

first time i ran it WITH the script and average "partygaming" cpu usage was 4-5%
then i restarted pp without the script and got an average "partygaming" cpu usage of 20-21%
restarted pp, opened the script and it was 4-5% again

i'd post screenshots but i don't have to
so happy i can play without lag now
