Just noticed this, and I was a bit suprised, but a link_message function takes up script frame time, regardless of whether or not messages are being passed.
If someone can confirm this observation, I'll see if I can figure out how to make an account and add this to http://secondlife.com/badgeo/wakka.php?wakka=lag _____________________

Yes, a script takes up time even just waiting on linkmessage, i've got a boardgame with 200 linkmessage scripts in it and it's around .6ms.

Good point. Apparently default{state_entry() {}} lags the sim.
Hmm! I've been working on the assumption that scripts which weren't doing anything did not lag the sim. Well.. learn something new every day  _____________________

IIRC, this changed recently, where idle scripts still get scheduled in. I think it was discussed here. Don't remember when or why this happened. Or I could be mistaken, and it's been this way forever.
