[mohaa] CPU hogging (Was: [mohaa] Why is it so quit overhere)

[Troy Chinnery]

wow i keep hearing that the server is so laggy at high players and stuff 
but i have had nothing but good experience with it..

i run a lan in australia and use a (single) p4 2.4ghz w/ 1gb ram and we had 
35 players, the cpu usage peaked at ~65%, and used about ~160mb ram... 
(only one player experienced crippling lag, so can't really blame the server)
i don't see what everybody is whining about, my server ran for 24 hours 
(length of lan) without crashing at all
