ok so i have been researching the causes of lag for the last few weeks checking peaks for what is causing it

several of the issues i have already fixed, nerfing some monster AI, tweaking mob limits, removing unnecessary permissions checks from citadel.

there was some animal issues before too but they seem to be gone now i guess you guys cleared them up on your own

now the last 2 big checks are for permission checking on player interaction and hoppers

the player interaction one is going to happen because its unavoidable. but the hoppers i am thinking people may have some erroneously setup hoppers that are trying to move items between containers with different permissions setup. please check any hopper chains you have to make sure items are accurately flowing. if all of the permissions are setup to the same group they should work.

i have plans to in the future rewrite a new protection mod similar to citadel but with new usability improvements, uuid based permission, and using off hand for reinforcement material, it will also do caching of the whole chunk and quicker lookups hopefully. but it will be a ways off. i will port all of the existing citadel protected data into the new system when that time comes so you don't have to worry about losing any protection

My guess the Hopper issue might be with NoHacksJustFloors.  He mentioned he had a similar issue on his server he was hosting, just doing it here too.. hahahah I guess he wants to test the server.  Please fix nofloor if it is you.

Lol, Doug was running a chicken farm that causes crazy lag. Since then I have purged the chickens. I did get a slight preformance boost of about 5 fps or so, so it seems it made a difference. Mob farms usually bring in the lag, especially automatic ones.
