Well, I have a p4, broadband, and I do lag up from sprays. But let me clarify. Lag is probably not the best term. When there are several sprays, especially in the middle, and especially the size that ss does, I start getting choppiness when I go near them. It's similar to when you walk through a dead body. My ping doesn't increase, and I don't get an overall lag, but I get choppy and such when I go near a batch of sprays. Now one on a pad won't lag me... not even two. I just find it annoying. But like 4 sprays on a pad will get me choppy and extremely distracted. The only reason I can think that it doesn't lag you is because you already have 56k and are accustomed to it not being as smooth as I am used to, and in fact probably it doesn't affect you... like if you are being stung by 10 bees, you won't notice the difference if there is an 11th.
Arguments that ss uses: one, that we can turn it off. Stop using that, because it is completely illogical. I have said, as has grits, that we like to look at sprays. I like them being there. I like spraying mine. But I don't like it when it gets excessive and gets on my nerves in terms of either the choppiness or seeing nothing but penguins and cats in my peripheral vision. That's a segway into your other argument... we don't have to look at them. Well, no kidding, in fact I DON'T look at them if I can help it. But you want me to turn off my peripheral vision? I can see things without looking at them, as can everyone. So I won't be disabling something just because one person is abusing it. It's like telling someone to mute an entire server because one person is annoying. Well, you either tell them to shut up or you mute them in specific. If I could turn of yours and ghengis sprays in specific, and no one elses, then I'd gladly oblige. But since I can't, I ask you to stop. And you don't until the admins intervene.
