The speed in which timer's are being executed on 6.17 is indeed 'unacceptable'. The ‘timer loop method’ which has been used by many scripters over the last few years is now almost useless. Version 6.17 has left only one fast method to perform multiple, repeated instruction on mIRC. This is through the use of while loops, which as we know consume 100% cpu usage, are unstable, and often cause mIRC to freeze.
I agree with the flag proposition. Ordered timer's are not worth the current drop in performance.
