Map size and triggers can cause major lag and in some cause auto drop people. try to use less triggers and such to cut down on lag.

units cause lag on slower computers though , lots will cause lag on any computer but it has to be LOTS, one of the maps I'm working on has over 500 pre-placed units and even my slower comp (700mhz) doesnt lag with it

periodic event triggers are the most common cause of unnecisary lag that I have seen, if they fire to often they can cause mega lag even if they do something very simple like update a leader board. I try to keep periodic triggers above 1min if they are necisary.
