why does setting the timescale to 2x double brick loading speed
Zalot:
I'm talking about when I try to load bricks on my server. When I raise the brickcount the blue bar fills twice as fast.

I'm actually pretty sure it does. Timescale is a function built straight in the torque engine, and it literally affects every aspect of the game. Some things that occur on the same engine tick will be the same speed or faster than normal speed at 0.5x timescale, but actions that happen across multiple ticks will actually take twice the time and not just appear to go slower.
At 2x timescale, your computer will recieve information twice as fast as it did before, then your hardware will render it as fast as it can usually. There will be a point at which your computer can't keep up with it and you'll lag while loading. Regardless, I don't believe there's a way to get the timescale above two anyway, so that's the best it's going to get

Because you speed up time.
In this sense, if you set the timescale to 2, it would double your computer specs.
PROFIT

So I had the right idea or no?
MARBLE MAN:
IIRC it is faster when you have timescale 2 because more packets are being sent/received
