With an SSD in the server or more ram it would be much smoother.
In the past years most people were very satisfied with the performance of the server. As we have less concurrent games compared to 2010/2011 the games should even run smoother.
EDIT: I've just changed some RT settings of the bots. You may report if there is any difference.
Arrrrr yes I know that. I've already edited my post 4 times before so I didn't want to edit it a 5th time

Don't know about an ssd, but I would donate the 20-40 euros for more ram - how much does the server have? Does it really need more? I always thought the bot didn't need much ram, even including the ward program as well as the database, but It's been rather long since I've had a server with less than 4 gigabyte of ram ...
And about database: are you using transactions? indexes? innodb tables? There's a rather huge load of stuff you can optimize there, and most of it isn't more than one line of code
(there's a slow query patch for mysql which makes it possible to log query times < 1second as well, combined with mytop it's pretty easy to find the slow queries)
About ago: That might be true, but if it's the database, that would make sense, as the database most probably grew way larger over time

I'll report it if your changes make any difference to me, thank you very much!
Best Regards
Edit: btw: if you're bored, you could try to use the networking stuff of this server: http://trustleap.com/ people already implemented bittorrent protocol over it as well as some binary messaging stuff and the like, and as it replaces many syscalls with self-written stuff it's way faster than other software in many concerns. Though, I doubt you're bored

Getting used to the Sand everywhere. At least it brings us map updates.
