Structural load vs. Workshop subscribers

Each dot is one scripted mod modperf has analyzed: across, how much server main-thread time its structure costs; up, how many Steam users subscribe to it today. The question it answers: are the mods most people run heavier than the rest?

Popularity is not lag, and neither is this axis. Structural load counts how often a mod's hooks fire and how many timers stay alive, not what the code inside them does: the heaviest structure is not the laggiest mod. Subscribers count players and server owners alike and do not say how many servers run a mod. A dot far to the right is a reason to read that mod's report, not a verdict on it.

Popularity and structural load are unrelated here: a widely used mod is as likely to be light as heavy. Rank correlation +0.00 across 325 mods.

Structural load in ms/s, log scale: each labelled step is ten times the one before. Dashed lines: the medians, 217,390 subscribers and 0.004 ms/s.

325 of 328 scripted mods drawn; 3 have no subscriber count yet. 220 asset-only mods override no server script and are not drawn. Subscriber counts from Steam, observed 2026-10-03 to 2026-10-19.

Across: structural load

Milliseconds of server main thread per second at 100 players, from how often each hook fires and how many timers stay alive. The lines above the plot mark what a single hook or timer costs, so a dot left of "1 per-frame hook" costs less than one per-frame hook. Letter grades below the axis. Methodology.

Up: Workshop subscribers

Steam's count of current subscribers, refreshed whenever modperf crawls the mod. A server's players subscribe to everything it runs, so a mod on a few busy servers can outnumber one many servers carry.

The upper right

More subscribed and heavier than the median: where a structural cost reaches the most installs. Each mod's report says where its load comes from; whether that costs anything on a real server depends on what the hooks do, which static analysis cannot see.
