Hey All,

I'm simply wondering if one taxes the system more than the other?  I'm at a point where I can do either or, but I'm wondering if one is more efficient than the other?

I understand the other benefits (characters can move rooms etc...).

The reason why I wonder is that I'm in a situation where there would be a slight advantage to using objects but that advantage would be out weighed if objects aren't as efficient on the system.

Thanks everyone,

Don't quote me as having said this, but Characters take up more memory than Objects do. So unless you've run out of Objects to use, or you just really need this particular Object to move between rooms, then using an Object would be more efficient. Though realistically the in-game difference wouldn't really be noticeable.
