I'd like some proof of the assertations in #14.
Yeah it IS irritating for them to do it, but I've yet to see
any real proof that it slows anything down.
Lag occurs so often around here from one source or
another it's pretty hard to tell what's causing it in every
instance.

Well, honestly, The only evidence *I* possess, is experience. I've
seen many a day where everything is going on beautifully, lag-wise, and
then, as some nut decides to pull this kind of stunt, everything slows
down as described. This hasn't happened only once, so I'm not sure I
can just blame happenstance.
However, I understand that you NEED proof before going to such
measures. My intent, in letting people know about the problem, was
so that whomever could gather said evidence would know that they should
do so.

Sounds easy enough to reproduce, for skeptics who don't mind getting flamed!

actually, why not just ask The People Who Know, i.e., someone who's
familiar with system load and what affects it, rather than making
guesses? Everybody's got an opinion, but I'd rather hear from someone
who's got an *educated* opinion, and the more education the merrier.
I mean, I've had the same experience as sidhe, but I'd rather have
someone else confirm it using something a tad more than simple
observation.

Look. As of several days ago, we're running a version of party that does
not have this problem. The point is moot.
Also, presumably sidhe's problem really did exist in the old version, since
Jan said the our current version should fix the problem where one person
being in party several times over slowed it down.

Very good! Any other changes we partiers should be aware of?

I wish I knew! I need to ask Jan if there's a list of enhancements in
the current version. I'd guess that since we went from version 2.7f to
2.7l, since the numbers are still the same, there probably are no new
features.

Jan replied to my e-mail. No new features, just bugfixes. He says
if you do a :list when you're in party, it now tells you which channels
are closed.

Indeed. :list tells which are closed? Not bad.
