There is no extra Thread for the Lua Operations, so it lags

Hmm, that's bad. Why doesn't every mod run in its own thread?

Right!
Lua Mods should be at least be able to create and run Threads

[neko259]

I don't think mods should do this. Such things are the purpose of the engine.

NO..certain mods run better within other threads..some run better on their own thread

[neko259]

Then mods should start in their own thread and be able to created even more threads by their own.
Of course number of threads must be limited to prevent system overload.

Most of the mod functions are done in callbacks from the server, so running each mod in a separate thread really doesn't make sense. You would also have problems with two or more threads reading/writing the map at once. It would be a locking nightmare (only one thread could read or write to the map at once) and you would lose performance not gain any.
