I wonder, if Re-Play's were just removed completely in a hypothetical situation, would the server run actual games better? I am just curious about it.:confused:

Yes. Replays aren't just screen recordings, they recreate the game by replaying every last input in the game. As a result, every time you tap a key, or click the mouse, it stores the info in a separate game. As far as I know, without the replay function SE would use only 2/3ds of its current memory and CPU.
