i would say the coders suck atm to even think its an vaild option to have a shitcode around
back at pa's peak there were several servers working in parallel on the tick, a different ( compiled ) language as opposed to an interpreted one these days, and a different database engine; not to mention a far more simplified ticking algorithm with less to do and less data to retrieve in order to process each planet.
Its not as simple as you would like to think
