It may work slightly better for the hosted/internet list if the server name was cached, but I've always assumed most players are just firing up the server browser and connecting to a server in their favorites list, which is already cached locally. It's only new players looking for a server that are loading up the lists.
When you open the server browser, the only connections it makes is to query the servers in your favorites list. It doesn't rely on sa-mp.com. Increasing the centralisation by caching lots of information on sa-mp.com actually makes it more vulnerable to attack. If all the data were centralised, if sa-mp.com closed at some point, the client wouldn't work anymore - which I don't think anyone wants. |
