Sending more messages wouldn't help to fix the chat lag btw..
Chat lag and unable to send sometimes

There are a few different issues being discussed here. If what Wulf says is true, Oxide sends messages to the client directly via RPC, the server does no processing on that.
Our client side stuff for chat is pretty simple, throw the incoming text message into a buffer, then grab the 8 newest rpc messages offset by scroll amount worth of text and dump the concatenated version into a rich text component.
If you can give me the exact RPCs you are sending to the client that reproduce the issue I can run it in the editor and see whats going wrong. -

CHAT SITUATION example.
Welcome to our Server! Enjoy your life.
Player1: Hey, wanna go out tonight?
Player2: Yea, why not..
<...>
Chat lag.
Player1: So, when you will be able to...
Player1: 12341
Player1: that lagggg
Player1: shit
Player2:lagg?
Player2:lagg
Player2:/whatever (chat command that does not exsists)
SERVER: This chat command does not exsists
<Chat lag stops FOR EVERYONE because of players2 /whatever command>.
So, what i want to say with it, that if you have BetterChat, the whole chat is probably lagging, and its easy to fix if any of the players on the server know's what to do.
If there would be a way to make a plugin which spam's a wrong command every secound, it would be the best way to fix the chat lag. -

There is some truth to it. I don't use better chat, but Whenever there is chat lag caused by any mod using a command usually always kicks it back into gear. I tell my players just to use /players command if they see the chat lag.
I'd also like to add one more plugin to the list of those who's data files become too big and cause chat lag. Reporting.... when you have "log all chat" turned on, chat data file quickly exceeds 1MB and it only takes a 750kb or larger data file to start causing chat lag. However the default chatlog becomes disabled, even if you have this turned off... so if you want to use reporting it's a choice between no chat log and increasingly bad chat lag. -

It should also be noted that this issue was nowhere to be seen until around July. Not sure what might have changed, but before that I really never experienced any appreciable performance impacts, within chat or otherwise, from the oxide mods until then... unless a player or group of players were intentionally excessively spamming a command at the same time.
And yeah a player can quickly cure the chat lag for themselves temporarily by using any given command after the lag starts, oddly enough.
That's really all I got though, hopefully the issue can be found. I agree there it is odd for chat lag if there isn't a server performance issue, but if server performance is the issue the evidence of such is no where to be found. -
@Wulf,
Yeah, that makes zero sense, but the point is, it works. On every server i played, if they got the chat lag - i just put in a false chat command and it stops to lagg. Works fine, and not only for me. Check it out yourself :3 -

So its not client side, its server side. -

Is it hard to make a spam-plugin? like the plugin would send once in a sec a /wrong /chatcommand? -
Overall I'm just here to provide additional info and I'm sure you are correct, but either way I don't think it should be this widespread

Hi all. happy holidays. can you tell Hardworld why chat hangs from 3 to 19 minutes.

the problem is still relevant, the developers did not think to fix it? (hello @cowtrix)

I would really like a way to use tags in chat like betterchat does i used to be able to use it before that update we really need a way to fix this plugin ASAP or a new one
