I'm confused about the question. Actually, I don't really see one at all. Are you asking if the statement you made is true? Socket scripts are implemented *using* event scripts, since sockets use events (ON SOCKOPEN, ON SOCKCLOSE). If you are talking about implementing a socket script that connects to IRC in order to replace events like ON TEXT, the answer is: no, they are neither better nor faster than regular events. Quite the opposite, actually... implementing a socketbot to connect to IRC will be much more complicated, error prone, and less efficient than letting mIRC do what it is made to do: handle an IRC connection. Using /debug is just as flawed, for the same reasons.
