Just an FYI that the client search script is very CPU intensive and can start causing issues quick if over-utilized. I put this script on SH today and we are seeing a large jump in CPU utilization. We haven't confirmed if it is due to this new AA for sure or not, but I figured it was worth mentioning here just in case. If we find out for sure, I will let you guys know.

It would be great to have the client search added as a feature to the source and hopefully cut down a ton of overhead when using it. If we had a client list, we could be doing 20 FORs instead of 2000 :P

EDIT: FYI, it turns out that the High CPU Utilization and crashes were due to another issue in the source that has been fixed. Really, this script shouldn't be way too rough on a server as long as you didn't have like 30 of them up at the same time (essentially running the FOR 1 time per second average). And that is pretty unlikely to happen, at least not often. It would still be nice to have the client search code in the source though
