I have to be honest, I have watched other servers and when they start to get busy they all have the same issue, I don't think there is such a thing as a lag free server! I watch the box before I came to work and the only time there was any sort of increase in resources was at the end of the map when the server was writing to the xpsave.cfg, disk activity increased with a small amount of prcessor power, I mean to like 6% only, bandwidth is small, never increasing above the 1 meg connection so perhaps its something with the mod, I know Pheno was working on improving this in the next box.
