Does to many maps lag servers?

[#1ERuPTiON]

Maps are resources, do to many of them cause lag on servers? I know it's mostly errors with using debugscript 3 but do maps lag also?

With refreshall command and starting the server it takes a long time to check all the maps.

Still doesn't answer my question; Does to many maps lag servers?

Map's itself not lag the server. But incorrect / bad script usage with map's can lag the server / client.

Incorrect / bad script means that if you poor optimize you script it will not the same to loop x time through 10 map and 1k maps. So any script that is using in any way the maps ( showing them in gridlist , checking some stuff for every map , etc) need to be optimized with fewer loops as possbile. If you wanna send the map list from server to client , again it's much better / faster if you add the map name's / info's to a list and send the list to the client than trigger the Client for each map.
