Question for Server and Programer Gurus. "Soft Update"

Ive been having a political debate over the past 12 hours with my own programers and staff over wheather I should have "soft updates" activated on my server?

The discussion and arguent has been between my head programer, my script programer, and my Noc-Server Programer.

The deal is my out cgi links seem to be laggin on my server with a new trade script. Its a fucking AWSOME script! AWSOME! But i notice it lagging a bit when links out are clicked. Not much but a bit to where someone picky like me notices.

They reconmned I do a softupdate.
However the stabilty of this has my NOC programer concerned.
I guess if shit crahes all hell breaks loose ,a nd i can loose data and even corupt other files.

My main progrmer is like "what the fuck are soft updates" and like me are trying to figure out what the hell to do?

Does anyone here have softupdates on or off and why?

Like i said, the out links are a bit slow, but really not that bad!
But, im told if i do this soft update it will be Fast! Which really turns me on.

Anyone know anything about this shit? and have an opinon?
It seems to be split 50-50 between my people.

Anyhow Im enabling the ost update for the next 24 hours to see how it goes and decide from there.
