I'm just curious on how different scripts can go at different speeds. Lets say I'm in an opwar with somebody. What makes them beat me and what makes me beat them? Is there anyway I can modify how fast my script processes data? Also is there any real difference in hash and variables? I ask this because I was in an opwar with somebody that used variables and I use hash and they still crushed me, and when I say modify I mean the way my script is laid out and whether certain styles affect the speed of the data processing.
