I have an alias I've used for a long time to keep my vials organized in Achaea. This used to execute very quickly, and the mud output was so fast it wasn't able to be read... which was fine. The quicker the better, it's not the sort of thing you need to read output from.

Since the switch to 2.18, I've noticed this is running far, far slower. What used to take roughly 3 seconds (at least as recent as CMUD 1.34, and I've used this exact alias since pre-CMUD) is now somewhere around 15.

In the following, store and getpack are simple aliases -
store - "put %1 in @pack"
getpack - "get %1 from @pack"

@pack - The Achaea item number assigned to the container I'm currently using.

Here's the body of the alias:

Just as a preemptive strike...

Yes, I have run this many, many times and have ruled out latency as a cause, as well as machine performance, as both machines I've used this on used to perform well, and are now both suffering from this.

One thing you can try is using name alias parameters for local variables. It might help.

Another possibility is you could combine the get and store calls separately.
