[mohaa] CPU usage

[Killing]

Cant say I've seen a problem. I've been running a clean spearhead test server now since Thursday
and although the server has peaked @ 233MB RAM and 70% CPU load its looks to have released
the ram and is now back @ 117Mb which is perfectly acceptable IMO.
CPU load however is quite excessive and very spiky in comparison to mohaa plan although I don't
have a 1-1 comparison ATM due to the fact our mohaa servers are 16 player but our mohaas 
test server is 20 player. I've just changed that an will let you know the results.

OK

 

After testing the system again using the original MOHAA (not spearhead) executable, processor usage has lowered to what it should be. The over cpu usage is located in the spearhead. Now whether spearhead uses more resources (that many more? Kind of doubtful), or it is related to the memory management issue that cropped up in Alpha1 (more highly likely, unless the same issue exists in the mohaa executable).

 

I’d reason to believe that its based in the spearhead memory management due to this: After the server had been up for a few weeks, one day with less than ten players (if I recall correctly, there were like 5-7 total), the system hit 100% cpu usage and full ram usage. Players pings were 999 (no data). So I’d say that it may be a memory leak, or memory management type problem. Hopefully, as Ryan has mentioned earlier, this will be fixed in the next version.

 

Until the next update arrives, I’ve since switched back to MOHAA and will have to stay at that due to it crippling the server.
