I haven't tested Minilogin, eqemu, mysql on the same machine - I made a seperate Mysql server a long time ago, as it was stalling my other applications on my webserver even with MyISAM (when run all together with the minilogin and eqemu).
I can test that too , I have a small windows machine with all of it together - just need to load and test.
Probably a lot of people run Minilogin, eqemu, mysql, and on top of it all, the everquest client, which also needs some pretty hefty resources. So I would imagine anyone who attempts it all on one machine, had an impressive powerhouse for a pc.
Also, here's something else i noticed just by montoring CPU usage on the zones; CPU usage rises drastically with more npc's spawned per zone. Example;
cauldron has under 100 npc's in the spawn2 table - cpu usage: .03%. griegsend has 700+ npc's 25 -35% CPU usage, ssratemple has about 450 , 25-35%, Gunthak around 425, 25-35%. Probably an average number for spawned zones would be about 200. Tutoriab has 243 npc's and has 10% CPU usage. this numbers are with one player (me) logged in the zone. If i recall, any static zone empty, idles at .03%
