Making a map faster, better response

how can you make give the players a better response time.

my ideas, removing as many "Check every 1 second" triggers, default unneeded changes to units and items and stuff.

any other advice is greatly appreciated

The less custom abilities you use the better, less doodads, and generally less of everything.

It's not that it lags in itself, it's that the warcraft engine wasn't built to hold 5000000 of everything at level 99.

Also you could use Lord Vexorian's optimizer:
