Under triggers -> Edit, below the part that says "Send to:" it shows says "0 matches." then below that there is a number that is constantly changing that says "sec" after the number. should this number be on, and, is it slowing me down in any way?

That is the time taken to evaluate the trigger (attempt to match) which is spent even if it doesn't match.

It is slowing you down by that amount, however it is cumulative, so if you have been connected for an hour, and the time is 1.2 seconds, then that is 1.2 seconds over the last hour.

The figure should be quite low, if it is high you might have a problem with the trigger.

For example, on a world I have which has been connected for 2 days, the seconds on one trigger is only 0.033291.

That is 3/100 of one second, over two days.

If your trigger time is much higher (eg. 20 seconds) then post a copy of the trigger match text, there might be something funny about it.
