lan server latency, maybe settings or system

[pfyon]

I don't really have any suggestions for you, just that you don't need a very powerful computer to act as a dedicated eqemu server. Mine is an acer aspire one (intel atom processor, 512mb ram, first generation 8gb SSD) running ubuntu server 9.10 (I think) and it can definitely handle a single client + full group with no problems.

I've been noticing the same issue. I'm running the latest code revision (as of 3/12/2010) from svn on server with these specs:

Dedicated 3ghz Core 2 Duo
2g of ram
Linux 2.6.27-10 + grsec

At first I thought maybe it was zone specific but the really odd thing is that it seems to affect all zones of a specific launcher. I don't see how the launcher has any effect since it's just fork() & exec(). It's affecting my L1 launched zones:

mysql> select * from launcher;
+------+----------+
| name | dynamics |
+------+----------+
| L1 | 0 |
| L2 | 0 |
| zone | 10 |
+------+----------+

mysql> select * from launcher_zones;
+----------+-------------+------+
| launcher | zone | port |

I'll experiment around with my launcher setup and keep this thread updated on what I find.
