not really, no.
your loading a file as you are loading a flag, sure it'll take a little more CPU but not a substantial amount though.

please try to create a system that has alot of information in each flag
currently, my item system contains the following flags, make try make them into a flag with less than 255 chars.

#The archetype name
realname=Fung Si Yan

#The file location
archetype=equipment/shields/

#The Display Name
displayname=Fung-Si-Yan Shield

#The Display Icon
itemimage=Shield-FungSiYan

#Item Description
itemdescription=Forged by the almight Stefan at birth!

#The Weight [kg]
weight=10

#The Value [Rupees]
value=5

#Can Be Traded
candrop=true

#base, agility, magic, mental, personality, physique, wisdom
reqlevels={0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0}

#strength, dexterity, vitality, intelligence, wisdom, power, charm 
reqstats={0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0}
basestats={3, 3, 3, 0, 0, 0, 0}

#Item Data [+Melee weapon functions]
itemname=+Shields
itemequip=true
itemganis=fungsiyan

#Can The Shield Break
canbreak=true
#Amount Of Hits Taken Then It Breaks
breakamount=750

Because GK actually has a proper mudlib library available in the NPC-Server which means that script CPU cycles are not being used instead.

didn't know this, release to servers that want a mudlib to solve the CPU issue?
