What effects load and dl time?

[Maedh]

What are the factors that effect load and dl time? I was wondering because sometimes im the last to load a map, but im the only one that dosent lag in it.

A lot of things add up. The amount of code is negligible, but the object data is not. I recommend using Vexorians map optimizer and the Widgetizer.

Download time is affected by the size of the map. Once again, vexorian's optimizer can reduce this, also, any imported files should be compressed using wc3 image extractor(textures), and mdx squisher for models.

Loading time is affected by number of different objects in map (HUGE)
number of same objects in map (Medium)
Map initialization Events (depends on Actions)
And anyother things with little change
