It used to take a long time...so long that the server would sometimes crash.
Previously:
- Every time a new player connected it would take 100-200 ms to send the market data.
- 1-2 new players connect per second at busy periods.
thus the server was spending 40% of its time sending market updates
Now:
- It takes less than 1 ms to send the market updates when you enter a base because it's only sending the changes for this particular base.
- You won't notice it.
- People with slow connections will be able to get on the server more easily.
