Kudos to all you guys for making these forums an enjoyable place to visit (even if I am doing it at work :twisted: ).

Shinji, if you do what Static Loader describes above, it puts the NPC's in "idle" mode ... basically, the only NPC's that are "processed" are the ones that are around the player. This really helps cut down on lag...this is how most emus do it (I think). As for turning off the pathfinding, I re-enabled it because after the Idle thing, I was back down to 3% CPU.
