I was thinking of a feature for bPermissions to make it much more efficient. If it had MySQL support it would make it possible to add things like Website lists for ranks, etc. and it would make less large Users.

I believe they used to have it, and codename_B is really busy with fixing <1.1 plugins. But this is a good idea.

I think it is is something that Codename_b should "re-add". It would really make is less laggy

It really wouldn't.

MySQL would make it considerably MORE laggy as it would have to wait for the MySQL database to return the entire dataset on every startup.

It works like this:

file -> in memory -> edits -> file

So for mysql that'd be like this

all entries -> in memory -> edits -> save all entries (which is REALLY slow)

We have some pretty large files - not sure if it would make use less laggy or not though.

This would be very nice for online scripts.
