I'm currently working on a very dialogue-heavy mod, and I've absolutely packed Greetings 1 with entries. I've noticed that when I pull up the dialogue window and select Greetings 1, it takes about 2-3 seconds to load, versus less than 1 second for most of the others, so obviously the number of entries does have some kind of effect on how 'hard' the CS has to work to load them up.
This isn't a problem, and I haven't noticed any problems while play-testing. However, it's got me paranoid about 'limits' to dialogue entries. If I keep adding entries to that one Greetings tab, will the mod eventually become unstable or even unusable?
I haven't heard anything like this before, but if anyone knows anything about any limits to the amount of dialogue entries, I'd really like to hear about it now while I can still (kind of) do something about it, rather than later when I'm finishing the mod and realising that it's permanently unusable.
