<DIV><FONT size=2>Cant say I've seen a problem. I've been running a clean
spearhead test server now since Thursday</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>and although the server has peaked @ 233MB RAM and 70% CPU
load its looks to have released</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>the ram and is now back @ 117Mb which is perfectly acceptable
IMO.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>CPU load however is quite excessive and very spiky in
comparison to mohaa plan although I don't</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>have a 1-1 comparison ATM due to the fact our mohaa servers
are 16 player but our mohaas </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>test server is 20 player. I've just changed that an will let
you know the results.</FONT></DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">After testing the system again using
the original MOHAA (not spearhead) executable, processor usage has lowered to
what it should be. The over <SPAN class=SpellE><SPAN
class=GramE>cpu</SPAN></SPAN> 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 <SPAN class=SpellE>mohaa</SPAN>
executable).<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">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% <SPAN class=SpellE>cpu</SPAN> 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.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">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.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
