Whenever you enter a level, it has to load all NPCs be it local or dynamic(putnpc2 and such). I can notice it when I enter a level with a lot of bushes, because it will freeze upwards to a second or two. It's not just as simple as how much script is running.

Just remember, every object(bush/vase/sign) is an NPC, bombs are NPCs, then calculate loading players as well... and who knows what else. It would be fairly easy to create something like this to test the limits, however.
You start lagging when you enter a level with 50 Bushes?
Dude, don't talk bull****
