It's probably your imagination that the bot is slowing down. It only takes a couple microseconds to execute the code. Also, as long as your bind is matching for "*#*" then it's only executing when there's a good chance there is spam. It really shouldn't be noticeable.
Given that the code is one of the fastest ones, it's unlikely that using other code will make it appreciably faster. If your bot is slowing down because of this, you need a new computer :)
I'm using an bind like: bind pubm - {* *#*} no:adv. Probably the eggdrop/server had a bit lag, and this can explain why it was slow, I guess. Thanks for the fill in.
LoL.. no my pc ain't slow, P4 at 1.2 <- if this is slow, then I'm the president of USA, and I'm not
Once the game is over, the king and the pawn go back in the same box.
Machine load? If the machine is under high load, then it will of cause be slow.
Low on memory? If the machine is low on memory, then is will be heavily using swap space, which is tiem consuming.
OS? Background tasks, and OS design will slow down a system a lot (IE, windows is crap).
Optimsation? This mainly ties in with OS, but unoptimsed code will reult in poor overall performance, both of the bot and the machine. CGYWIN is probably one of theworst environments to run it under.
Overrun system? While a system may not be under high load, or low memory as such, sustained midrange loads will affect the performance. Eggdrops are designed for servers. A server is designed for specifi jobs. As such, the less you run the better.
Combination: By combining only two of these, you can mroe than double your problems, that is obvious. So, you may have a fast machine, but what else is it used for.`
