I have no experience with circle, being a SMAUG brat, but if it's doing what I think you're saying it's doing-- removing things completely before resetting them-- then that has to be the biggest waste of CPU time i've ever heard of! If this is the case, I'd totally rewrite your reset code from scratch so that it does like Amnon said, just check if it's already there before resetting it...

As for your weird polymorphing furniture, what's the point of having it change when someone sits on it? sounds like a very bandaid-ish solution to the problem of having only 1 person per chair... sounds very much like a crude snippet. (Note the redundancy. most every snippet is crude.)
