Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it also sends the camera data faster when you press the aim key as well. When making a flying-camera script, you could make the LMB/RMB button into the 'move forward' instruction to make the direction a bit more responsive.

That makes sense, but why doesn't the camera updating behaves like the position updating (only update it if there is a change)? This would also spare some network traffic (people are probably using the camera more often than they are moving, but this would still be an improvement). Although if doing it like that OnPlayerUpdate still should be called every second or it will break all AFK-check-scripts.
Even if the server internally doesn't need these camera updates, what about the gamemode? The server doesn't really know if these camera updates are used frequently (okay, it's technically possible for the server to find out: measure time between GetPlayerCameraPos calls and the smaller the time the more frequenter request camera updates).
