Hello, I want to optimize my sourcemod plugins.

I read this article from wiki. Anything else I should know?

Someone sad that SDKHook_OnTakeDamage very strongly loads CPU on CSGO with so many players.
How to resolve this issue?

For example, which code is best by your experience?

PHP Code:

public OnClientPutInServer(client)
{
    SDKHook(client, SDKHook_OnTakeDamagePost, Hook_OnTakeDamagePost);
} 


Or

PHP Code:

public SDKHooks_TakeDamage(player, owner, owner, 999999.0, DMG_GENERIC, -1, NULL_VECTOR, NULL_VECTOR)
{

}

the second doesn't make any sense

What would you be doing with SDKHook_OnTakeDamage that would put it under a heavy load?
You should be doing quick calculations there, simple math.

Okay, how about another optimization tricks, above then tricks in wiki?

Profile your plugin and get some hard statistical data before you declare random sections of code as "unoptimized".

Yes of course I'll use a profiler.
But maybe you guys know from your experience how to better coding?

are you asking for general comments on how to be better at coding??
Like show an example that is making OnTakeDamage slow down the server...

Yes, what other functions are slowing down the server, except OnTakeDamage, OnGameFrame?
If I will use so much code in this functions

A ton of things. If your server cant handle more than 32 players, then don't set the slots above 32..
None of these should show drastic changes in the server, unless for some reason you have a plugin doing stupid stuff.

Using the forwards isn't going to cause lag or whatever it's all dependent on what you do inside the forwards.
