the computers are outdated (p3 733, athlon 600)

Almost, mine is AMD K6-2, 475Mhz.
I can run up to 10 zones, like kaladima, kaladimb, nexus, i.e up to 50 npcs only per zone, average 10M memory and 1 to 5 % cpu (that's what top says).
But when it comes to more populated zones, eg around 150 mobs, it goes up to 40-50% cpu, even more wih the pets spawning
i could not run any zone more than 200 mobs before this cache, due to cpu at first glance.
Load is, as far as AICheckCloseArrgo is concerned, N*N. thus for 150 mobs it accounts 70% of zone load.
Anyway, with the cache, i could run 500+ mobs in a zone on that very machine
Memory then is about 40-50M, growing up slowly.
