is there any performance / lag difference between using llSetTimerEvent(5) in conjunction with llSensor versus just using a llSensorRepeat with interval of 5?
granted, using the timer there would be code to stop the timer while the sensor event is called and potentially reset the llSetTimerEvent back to an interval of 5 if some condition is met or not met when my sensor event is done.
i believe you can do the same with llSensorRepeat as in using llSensorRemove... does this finish processing the sensor event if you issue llSensorRemove inside of itself?

If you call a sensor remove in a sensor() event, it will stop any more calls to scan (Ie, it will set the sensorrepeat timer to 0)... A sensor event is triggered when something is sensed, so it will carry out any code within the event after something's been sensed. --Water

In my experience, calling llSensorRemove() within the sensor() event does not interfere with the processing of said sensor() event... it'll just prevent any new sensor() event callbacks.  EDIT: What Water said.

has anyone had any experience with the performance / efficiency portion of my question?
