Possibly a computer/internet speed problem, or perhaps you're filling a spot with an area type, rather than making a line where players would cross over.

The lag might just be because your playing a mid the second they enter the area. there really isnt anything you can do about this to the best of my knowledge.

    Entered(mob/M)
        if(ismob(M)&&M.client) 
            sleep(5)
            M<<sound('DW2WORLD.MID',1)

If I am not mistaken, I believe this is because it is downloading the file to the usr, that is why it is lagging. I assume that if you walk back and forth it will stop lagging, though I could be wrong. A possible solution would be to use browse_rsc(file) at login or elsewhere, so the person downloads the file beforehand, and does not download the possibly large file every time they change areas.

if I am wrong, I apologize :P Just trying to lend a helping hand.
