Reduce lag during Events

[Eggnaug]

Every time there is a large event involving spawning items and mobs I lag A LOT. It is challenging when in the event, but not being in the event and trying to build/mine is a pain. It is not fair to those not in the event to have lag caused by events. It is disrupting the server experience and isn't good when new people log on for the first time and lag out. EVENTS WITH MOBS = LAG THAT RUINS THE INNECITS EXPERIENCE

Yeh I noticed as soon as the floor changes when playing spleef you start to lagg really bad.

You mean client or server lag? If its client then there isn't a huge amount to be done, perhaps install Optifine or some kind of performance enhancer? if its server side then perhaps some code optimisation or server upgrade could help?

Personally I haven't noticed anything, are you sure it isn't just you? You also claimed to experience lag when staff came online earlier..

Personally lag is a problem for me even with OptiFine

Any event that involves spawning ghast (Ghast Survival) causes lag.

If I am not mistaken, doing an action that causes lag for an extended time (like say 10mins or more) is technically illegal since it disrupts the server.

It would be different if everyone on the server was in the event, but that rarely happens. The lag caused by events is unfair to those not in the event.

Think of it this way. Lets say I am a new player joining the server for the first time and the server is lagging because of an event. Why would I, the new player who is now lagging, want to stay on the server?

The latest update is using a version of craftbukkit which fixes CPU issues caused by earlier Recommended Builds of craftbukkit (in the mc 1.2.5 version). So hopefully that might fix the lag you get from the game.
