Testing Script Efficiency

[xKrazyx]

Could anyone share a good method to test a scripts efficiency when running multiple instances of that script?
For example... I want to know if I could run an onThink with 100 lines of code on every player online... Does it lag at 20 players? 100 players? 500 players?

or any other script that involves that sort of load/perfomance testing.
Benchmarking multiple instances I suppose..

whats a good method to test the server without the players?

Ive googled a few methods but i'd like to ask here as well

Thanks

i'd prolly put script inside 'for loop' and in the end print milliseconds

at the top of the script you can save the current time it executes with a variable such as

 local time = os.mtime() -- saves current time in milliseconds

then at the end of your script you can use

 print(os.mtime() - time) -- current time - time saved (will print the millisecond difference)
