That's quite a vague statement. How does a flag experience lag?

i donno i've seen them lag more , for instance i had an NPC using server flags and it was listed in the top 10 for cpu usage, i changed it to store in a dbnpc and it came off the list ... maybe it was just the way the script was written but ever sence then i dont use server flags ::shrug::

Firstly, that wouldn't be a firm basis for saying that the strings themselves are lagging. Such is meaningless nonsense.
Secondly, it doesn't seem like sufficient basis to peddle your theories to learning scripters. I would suggest compiling more information before taking such bold steps.

A quick search for my recent posts would suggest otherwise.

Sometimes it takes a bit for the list to reload all the scripts and get the time, so NPCs might not show up for a little bit after you make a change like that.

They probably lag less just sitting there on the server, but I doubt they lag less when they are being read or wrote to.
