Linux Which scripts can eat the cpu?

[mRefaat]

Hello

wondering which scripts can eat the cpu ?

This is too broad of a question. It all depends on how you script and what exactly you have, nobody is going to be able to magically tell you what you need to look for. Scripts shouldn't even be the problem anyways, if you're having issues with cpu usage you should probably upgrade your host. If anything, parts of the source code are to blame for most of the cpu usage, getSpectators and path matching take the most resources out of anything else in the sources.

Typically you will want to look at any scripts that contain loops.

^ and ^^ or that gets triggered too often.

Maybe backtracking in what you have added lately and when did this start to happen?

I know it is depending on how i script, and ofc no one can magically tell me which script causes the lags. I just wanted to do more focus on which scripts maybe can make lags ( global events or creature events ).
And host info that i am using ( Linux from ovh, 1 core, 4 gb ram , ssd ) what should i upgrade to ?

Can you explain more ?

I tried to disable what i have added lately but the cpu usage still high.

I saw this solution before and inside the post delusion saying add it to any lib.
Just add it to any lib or new lib file ?
Only this step?
I am using tfs 0.3.7

Well i added a new lib with this code.
I found in the startup of the server this

possible infinite loop in file @data/npc/scripts/upgrading man.lua near line 6

this is my NPC.lua

local keywordHandler = KeywordHandler:new()

npcHandler:setCallback(CALLBACK_MESSAGE_DEFAULT, creatureSayCallback)
npcHandler:addModule(FocusModule:new())

what is the problem? i didn't get it.
