### Summary

Calling Agent.Respawn() for faster respawns delivers major server spikes. This was occuring in our game Forever Zone Wars for years, and we finally determined that this function is what causes the lag. As you can see in the image, calling Agent.Respawn() once triggers the function repeatedly in 1 server tick 10+ times consistently.
