Server grade computer. Major Lag client-side.

So I posted over at Bukkit and they told me to come here.

I have a custom built computer

FX-8150 @4GHz

16GB 1600MHz RAM

Radeon HD 7970 3GB

120 GB SSD

Windows 8 64BIT

Java 7 64BIT

I am running a Tekkit Server using XMSM to manage it. I live in college dorms and so the ports aren't right so I am using a program called Evolve (Hamachi like) to tunnel through. I have 55ms ping 12Mb/s down 15Mb/s up. I am using ComandsEX, PermissionsEX, NoLag, SafeCreeper, and World Edit in addition to all the Tekkit stuff included.

So my problem is that I am currently at my parent's house over Thanksgiving (yes their computer is good and so is there internet) and I can connect but there is horrible lag. World wont load, blocks will place but not show, and pressure plates for doors wont work. I have no idea why it is doing this. Connecting locally the server works ok however when my friends connect they seem to have some problems although not as much as I am having here. Really I am looking for some way to speed up the server.

Perhaps I need to edit the NoLag config? I don't think it is Evolve. It is supposed to be like a gaming grade version of Hamachi. There are only 3 users that play. I have the most technology running. I have a small factory and sorting facility but that should be all.

8150 is far from server grade but the problem is almost definatly your connection.

Even with server side at 55ms ping 14Mb/s down 15Mb/s up and client side at 106ms ping 10Mb/s down 1Mb/s up? Should I go to the Evolve forums and ask around there?

The thing I don't understand is that most VPS providers are providing something around .5 to 8 GB RAM and some processing power. I guess the question is what is best for a Tekkit server? RAM, CPU, HDD, or Internet? If possible I would love to have around 20 people on my server eventually.

Are there any plugins or adjustments decrease network usage on the server or something? I also think it is more than just network. My friends are on the same campus as me and they have (in theory) 100Mb/s connections. Could there be something else?

P.S. I concede it is not "Server Grade" however, it is 1/2 the performance as an Xeon E5-2690 and 1/10 the price.

In case anyone has a similar problem I think I fixed it. NoLagg was generating exceptions and causing problems. Switched to ClearLagg problem seems fixed.
