When cloning from Storage, are Parts or Unions faster to load?

Hi!

When cloning a model from ServerStorage, should the exact model with parts, but then as unions load faster then when using parts?

I currently have a few maps with quite lot of parts, and loading them takes a few seconds

Parts are faster to load unions take a little bit longer.

Parts are better I think for performance just ensure you load them in a loop and wait after a certain number of parts are added so you don’t get a lag spike.

This is true, but unless your maps are made up of thousands of parts each, there won’t be a noticeable difference when comparing a union map to a pure part map, and unioning parts together can actually decrease the instance count and reduce replicating time.

Best advice is just to keep your instance (parts, unions, models, etc) counts as low as possible to keep memory and network usage low.
