Execution Speed of Mods

I've created mods for NPC character sheets that uses ChatSetAttr to update the parameters for summoned creatures in Tascha's.  Similarly, we substituted a similar template for the Polymorph spell, which has required a significant amount of script.  My script runs correctly, but it has a significant delay.  It takes 5+ seconds to pop up a query that's in the script.  I've tried combining all my ChatSetAttr calls into one mega-call, but that hasn't helped.  Any suggestions? Thanks!

Before someone else comes along and asks, you should post the associated macros so folks can see them. :)

I've also noticed slow processing of MODs lately. It's most noticeable with DoorKnocker and TokenMod. With DoorKNocker, it can take five or more seconds to open or close a door using !knock --key|toggle

Hi Rick and Andrew! Are you experiencing lag in places other than the Mod scripts? Several users have noted unusual lag and CPU usage lately.

I experience lag sometimes, due to server loading I imagine.  But this occurs all the time.  It is especially laggy the first time I run the code.  Here's my ability/mod.  I only posted one of the sub-abilities that are called by the main one.  There are 12 of them total.  They are similar, except for the parameters used.  I could save a lot of script if I could nest the macros between size and type (two deep), but I couldn't get that to work.

Hi Keithcurtis, It's often takes a long time to open character character sheets and compendium entries. Very rarely NPC character sheets or handouts though, and only if the NPCs have extensive information under the Bio tab. This happens in both Chrome (my preferred) and Firefox, both of which are current. My only extensions are Malwarebytes and a password manager. It also doesn't matter if I use my 5G (390 Mbps - unreliable) or 2.4G (144 Mbps - rock steady) wireless connection. CPU usage by Chrome stays under around 25%. keithcurtis said: Hi Rick and Andrew! Are you experiencing lag in places other than the Mod scripts? Several users have noted unusual lag and CPU usage lately.

If the password manager is LastPass, I have seen anecdotal reports of lag issues from that (though not lately...) See if you can disable it temporarily to test. I have no familiarity with it, but maybe it can whitelist Roll20?

It's not LastPass; I use Dashlane. I'll try disabling that the next time I'm working on things in the game and during play to see if it helps. Edit: I just spent some time adding a character, pulling some NPCs from the compendium and a editing few handouts in one of my games. Turning off Dashlane seems to have improved the slow loading of the character and NPC sheets somewhat. I'll see what happens after our game this Sunday when I have more people in the game and more stuff open.
