I used a 99 merc scroll in Payon town and Spores map and it caused me to lag incredibly. I used another char with a merc from the VIP NPC and it caused the same horrible lag. I did not try using a mercenary in any other map. Dismissing the mercenary will stop the lag.

 

Can anyone confirm?

On heavily loaded maps, merc/homun can cause lag through the same mechanism as queue lag in WoE, since you're now sending more commands because you're controlling two things.

I'd you're using the latest version of my ai (link in sig), there is a lag reduction option that reduces the number of commands the ai sends, to make it lag less on heavily loaded servers (on lightly loaded servers, though, it performs worse)
