What exactly happens in MultiplayerAPI.poll()

+1 vote

I have been wanting to test out how many clients my server can handle so I create nodes with their own MultiplayerAPI object. Then in my _process() method I poll the API.

I know that the poll method calls all the RPCs related to this node, but when I reach a max of ~75 players the players start to stutter on my clients screen, because the positions known to the server are not recent enough.

Are rpcs also sent via poll() and therefore when I have too many MultiPlayerAPIs calling poll() it affects the performance and also delays messages being sent?
