If you have 9950 mobs in your mud, and 50 players playing, each tick there are 30,000 calls to hit/mana/move_gain() per tick. Figuring an average of 15 points gained per tick in one area, that would leave 2000 mobs/players with less than max hit/mana/move (or 666 in all three), which seems a lot higher than what would be likely with 50 players. Some real statistics might be interesting to look at, but i'm really not concerned about it enough to care. Of course, you can optimize the current system quite a bit (as well as the event system), but thats a different discussion.
