Feeling good, thats what I do.
You sound like you are setting cooldown trough queries xD (i hope not)I did add a cooldown to the talkaction. When 30 players say !prestige at the very same time and it logs you out, edits your level in database and then logs you back in its going to be a lot of lagg due to the massive changes per 5th second which the cooldown was at in the database.
tldr: a lot of queries = lagg
if the prestige function itself takes lot of data from database. then load them up in global temporarily.
