Scar Script Lag help?

Ok... so I had a script that was working fine... for what it did...

it would compile in under 200 ms and run fast enough that i had to add in delays to slow it down...

I needed more functionality out of it however and roughly doubled the length of the script... it's just shy of 2200 lines now...
and it WORKS... but SLOWLY.... it compiles at around 800 ms.... and the slowness is about 4-5x the delays i set before....

i used the same command string types... and it's not searching for bitmaps or anything... but it's still super slow...

does anyone have any suggestions that would help?...
would putting the functions in separate scar files and remote calling them (thereby reducing the length of the one active in scar) reduce the lag any?...

I'm not experienced with this... just got scar two or three days ago... but so far i've been extremely happy with its performance... maybe there's something simple i'm overlooking?

there's no errors or debug issues... and like i said IT WORKS... just the way i intended... only nowhere near fast enough...


any help would be greatly appreciated...
