Ticks Per Second Server Lag

Title: Ticks Per Second Server Lag

Version: 3.1.2

OS: Windows 7 Professional

Java Version: Jave 7

Description of Problem:

Server TPS Drops to about 10-16

Server Errors

Server starts up at about 20tps, holds it. Then in short bursts it drops to TPS ranging from around 12tps to 16tps, then slowly goes back up to 10tps.

I can provide any info needed, server is doctormayhem.com

I'm not sure what the problem would be, unless you have a memory leak. How much RAM are you allocating?

[doctormayhem]

28gb is dedicated to the server. 4Gb for ramdisk, so 24gb purely the server.

[crzymn777]

Did you specify that in the .bat file or is that what the computer has? The defaults are usually ok for small servers, unless you have a memory leak.

[doctormayhem]

How do i tell if i have a memory leak? i specified that in the files.

[crzymn777]

You would have to ask someone who runs servers more often, but it's pretty unlikely you have a memory leak. Chech taskmanager to see if there are any suspicious processes running. If that doesn't help, then I'm out of ideas.

[doctormayhem]

I fixed a bunch of errors and Overclocked my CPU higher, removed votifer, and am defragrementing the harddrives. Hopefully this helps.

[crzymn777]

That definately will free up some resources. Let me know how it turns out.

[doctormayhem]

everything turned out good except for the ramdisk, driver was giving me errors refusing to start/stop. tried uninstaing the software. nothing. Cant seem to get my ramdisk working.

[crzymn777]

Hmm. I don't know enough about that to help, but I assume this means the lag is gone?

[doctormayhem]

Mostly, still random Drops.
