Leaks on sp campaigns

[Silkan]

So I'm wondering if it's truly neccesary to care about leaking triggers on campaigns maps, I know that if important to free memory on multiplayer long maps, but it's that relevant on a campaign map?

Depends. The odd leak here and there makes little difference. However if you use a complex system (like moving a unit 60 times a second) then it is still very important as the performance will degrade just like a multiplayer or long maps.

Campaigns also some times have long maps so I think there might be some overlap there.

It is probably most important to watch for periodic leaks (make sure your periodic triggers are leak-free--the ones that run every X seconds [including the periodic parts of triggered-spells]).

I recommend that you clean them up in general. It is good practice. It might not make a huge difference, but I don't see a point in ignoring some and fixing a few--it becomes confusing and requires more thinking.

To put it into perspective, you're going to need several thousand or tens of thousands of leaks to degrade performance on modern computers (maybe even hundreds of thousands). This is a lot, but keep in mind that periodic triggers can easily get to these amounts within a matter of seconds.
