Quick and simple question?
Is wait(1/math.huge) faster than wait()?
0
1/math.huge is just 0 (check yourself). Don't do silly things like that -- you very rarely want to deal with infinities. BlueTaslem 18071 — 10y

It's the same as wait(0), so no. The fastest waits would be RunService.Stepped and RunService.RenderStepped( client scripts only ), for they fire 30 and 60 times a second, respectively. Diitto 230 — 10y

wait() is faster; proven using some simple ticks. Seems to be a tad different of around .01 seconds:
1 | bob = tick() |
2 | wait(1/math.huge) |
3 | now = tick() |
4 | print(now - bob,"---") |
5 | steve = tick() |
6 | wait() |
7 | john = tick() |
8 | print(john - steve) |

The fastest available loop in ROBLOX is RunService:
1 | local rs=game:GetService("RunService") |
2 | rs.RenderStepped:connect(function() |
3 | -- Put code to run every frame |
4 | end |
