Am working on a project where suddenly we notice increased lag as some scripted objects are being added. Some are bought and some are custom. How do I test a parcel for scripts that may be causing excessive lag? How to I test for relative contributions to lag of multiple scripted objects in a parcel? Appreciate any counsel you can provide

If you have access to the Estate menu you can check for top CPU consuming scripts in the Debug tab. Otherwise, I have little idea...

Jesrad,
If you're thinking along the lines of an idea to allow a scripter to be part of a group on an estate and have access to the estate tools to monitor the performance of thier script, count me in. That would be an option for Sitearm as well, albeit a bit inconvenient to move everything to the estate and back again.
<soapbox>Overall, I think it would in LL's best interests and for the SL community at large to give users some ability beyond viewing the simstats window while scripts run. In most of my club code, I use the two environmental calls (fps, time dilation) to delay some processing demands (which is nice, except that now my scripts run slower than others who have no regard for loading up the server).
I may be an optomist, but I think that customers would shy away from poorly written sim-unfriendly code if they knew it was causing lag... or scripters would be motivated by profit to give a touchon/touch off option to suspend tasks not needed when the object is not being used. </soapbox>
