This is not complaining this is just informational.. but there is a bit of grrrr *twitch*

I experienced a bit of this last night. I am not too familiar with the minecraft code base, but I have heard it has some memory management issues. I have found that the default garbage collection of the JVM is quite lacking when it comes to programs which use large amounts of memory. Sometimes this can be helped by using aggressive garbage collection settings.

-XX:+AggressiveOpts
-XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC
-XX:+UseParNewGC
-XX:+CMSIncrementalPacing
-XX:ParallelGCThreads=2

If that does not help you can use JConsole to monitor the running JVM which may help to figure out what the problem is, and the best way to fix it. It has been a few years, but I have some experience tuning JVMs if you need any additional help.

It's happening more noticeably with more people on the server.

Ah ok, is there a way to check who's on the server? besides asking who's on and waiting for reply's...

Can someone send me the server IP?

**Kanati** · 02-19-11, 03:52 PM

water... it's minecraft.thewellofsouls.com

I think the server might just need restarted every night. Not sure if mcadmin lets me do this though.

If we still see lag, I'll just turn monsters off again until notch fixes his shit.

Guess I should log on and assess the damage to my house... *sigh*

I would log on more often if I had something to do, but I really cannot think of anything...
