sucks to use gameplay lockdown to fix a lag/stability issue but I agree that it's a decent band aid

I don't *think* that should affect loading times
But, uh, I don't know how byond loads things
byond loads all images in all dmis you can currently see on your screen when you pop in, iirc. seeing less things *would* reduce lag on your first round of the night.
...huh.
I would've thought that would be done during pre-round setup.
my recollection is vague, but it's why peeps kept bugging out every time they walked by cog 1 security; hooty the owl had like hundreds of sprites to load
