Hmm, I really don't want a performance degrade.... when a large player load
is on a server, it may need to run MANY scripts (like over 100) each game
loop.

What about my other idea, of having a script paused by a certain function
call, and having it resumed on the next loop?  Is this feature available, or
am I going to have to hack it myself?  ;-)  (sorry , I haven't had much
chance to look over the code yet, else I'm sure I'd be asking more
intelligent questions by now...)
