This can be reduced by umode +d as discussed a few days ago. Granted, not
all daemons do umode +d, but there are enough that do. I never said that the
load would be the same as without services in channel, of course it'll eat
resources. As far as the server that services is connected to, it will still
have a higher load than the others because whether services is present in
channel or not it still sends services data back and forth to the rest of
the net, so with services "deaf" to channel traffic and the fact the traffic
to and from services still goes through the server services is connected to
... the load wouldn't be as high as you are indicating. The increase in
resources would placed on services alone. IMO, anyone that runs services on
a slow computer is begging for lag to start with ;P
