Look command lags game when inside an area.

When you're in an area instead of inside a room or an object, and you use the look command, it'll lag the game for about half a second. It is possible to stack the lags, meaning sending the look command 100 times would pretty much shut down a game for a long time.

Areas are only meant to contain rooms. A player shouldn't be directly in an area. At least, it wasn't designed for players to be within an area like that. However, I'm not certain at the moment why that in particular would cause a lag in the game.

I know it's not likely to come up often, if ever, but I thought I'd make a thread about it for the sake of completeness.
