Nice idea about the moving vehicles Kurtz.
However I remember a mission of mine which hasn't got any vehicles at all, only infantry and it turned out to be one of the most laggy missions I've ever played on the server. Although it looked more like screen lag rather than network lag for most of the players it definitely was not caused by vehicles moving around. It was the PvP mission with DAC where two teams have to go to various checkpoints and then extract for anyone who remembers.
In this case the lag seemed not to be triggered by the number of players connected to the server because there was no lag at all when I tested the mission on the server alone (or with 2 Ofp instances of my user connected at most). Still not sure what caused the lag though; it could be DAC but I have another DAC featuring mission on the server which did not lag at all when we played it...
