globalstep or minetest.after?
If you want to call a function every few seconds and you don't need high accuracy, wouldn't it be better to use minetest.after instead of globalstep? What is more efficient?

Re: globalstep or minetest.after?
minetest.after() is not a core function and is based on register_globalstep too.
Lua is fast, thus, you won't notice any speed increase when you use globalstep instead of minetest.after
