Forums Feature Suggestions lag meter

Hmm. I wonder... could the "ping? pong!" event be somehow utilised for the lag bar? Does the server always ping at a set amount of time?

If mIRC kept track of the server pings and timed how long there was between each one, couldn't some kind of lag time be deduced form that?

Sure it's crude, but it doesn't eat up the server's bandwidth any more than normal mIRC usage.

Edited: for grammar reasons
