Lua How to check which scripts chewing server preformence?

[Printer]

Yo,

as the title says. I always wonder how to check it?

 

[Teckman]

I will use this thread if it is okay. I wonder if checking an area each 10 second is considered to be chewing server performance? I am using it as a part for a last-man-standing event (credits to teckman for the loops)
The area is not wide (total of 2240 tiles)

Here is the part of the script that checks:

	cfg = {
		[1] = {x = 32109, y = 32552, z = 11},
		[2] = {x = 32164, y = 32591, z = 11}
	}
	
	player = {}
	
	for x = cfg.area[1].x, cfg.area[2].x do
		for y = cfg.area[1].y, cfg.area[2].y do
			for z = cfg.area[1].z, cfg.area[2].z do
				if(isPlayer(getTopCreature({x=x, y=y, z=z}).uid) == 1) then
					table.insert(player, getTopCreature({x=x, y=y, z=z}).uid)
				end
			end
		end
	end

config = {
	centerPos = {x = , y = , z = },
	rangeX = ,
	rangeY = ,
}

players = {}
for _, cid in pairs(getSpectators(config.centerPos, config.rangeX, config.rangeY)) do
	if(isPlayer(cid)) then
		table.insert(players, cid)
	end
end

IMO more efficient.

config = {
	centerPos = {x = , y = , z = },
	rangeX = ,
	rangeY = ,
}

players = {}
for _, cid in pairs(getSpectators(config.centerPos, config.rangeX, config.rangeY)) do
	if(isPlayer(cid)) then
		table.insert(players, cid)
	end
end

IMO more efficient.

I believe you but I am just wondering what makes this more efficient, thinking of converting all of my scripts to this format
