I'm referring mainly to the delays involved with triggeractions. Without an NPC Server, there's no need for the triggers, as you can simply perform whatever you need clientside and it'll be sent to the other players automatically. This allows for the person using it to see it working instantly, but everyone else will have a delay. With the NPC Server... NOBODY gets the "instant" version.
