[MySQL] If you're using MySQL server to hold your files edit your my.cnf to the simplest form for the best performance. Delete everything under mysqld and add [mysqld] set-variable = max_connections=500 log-slow-queries safe-show-database wait_timeout = 28800 max_allowed_packet = 16777216 [TPS/FPS] TPS and FPS lag is a bugger, changing the view-distance in server.properties to a lower number than 10 solves that. [RAM] Low RAM becoming an issue? download ClearLagg, it removes all your entities after a period of time allowing more ram to free up. Click here to download [Best Server Location] Choosing the best location for your server to decrease lag on all ends is a pain, I'll provide you with information about this. West Coast = Asia + Australia and America Dallas = All Rounder East Coast = Europe and America North = America and Canada Java Performace f you are running the Minecraft server on a multi-processor or multi-core system, there are some things you can do with Java's garbage collector settings to help speed things up (perhaps significantly in some cases). For example, lag spikes that were occurring on my server disappeared after I made these adjustments. ricin in particular gave me a heads up about trying a different GC. Without getting into technical details, you can use the following two flags that should increase your server's performance: -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -XX:+UseParNewGC Applied to your entire command line, it may look like this: java -server -Xmx1024M -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -XX:+UseParNewGC -jar minecraft_server.jar nogui ricin has also suggested using the following flags: -XX:+CMSIncrementalPacing -XXarallelGCThreads=2 -XX:+AggressiveOpts Applied to your entire command line, it may look like this: java -server -Xmx1024M -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -XX:+UseParNewGC -XX:+CMSIncrementalPacing -XXarallelGCThreads=2 -XX:+AggressiveOpts -jar minecraft_server.jar nogui The -server flag forces Java to use the "server JVM," which runs a bit more optimized than the regular client JVM. Your server may already run with the server flag -- it depends on your system's specifications. Note that these flags will overall consume more CPU and memory, but your Minecraft server will run better on the other hand. On another note, you should run the 64-bit version of Java if you are on a 64-bit machine. This should increase performance.
