[INACTIVE][MECH] PerformanceTweaks v0.08 - Disc Usage Minimizer, And More [818]

PerformanceTweaks - Disc Usage minimizer, And Other performance tweaks
Version: v0.08

AutoSave Stopper:
Instead of writing every chunk to the disc every 2 seconds. This changes it to 30 mins.
This saves the server from writing about 9KBps to the disc (7 writes, 2 reads per chunk, on a 3 person server).
As well as saves about 2 calls to deflate every 2 seconds. (per chunk)

Chunk Persistance:
Change how long chunks will stay loaded into RAM, instead of unloading instantly when not used. This way naturally high traffic areas will stay loaded, yet areas that someone was just passing through will unload after some time. This means you need SOME extra RAM but that extra RAM will actually give you a boost in performance while reducing the amount of reading and writing needed for the disk. Win-Win. This part can be disabled via the config file.

Monster Limiter:
The Monster limiter will disabled 'natural' monster spawning when the number of monster gets above the max threshold. Then it will re-enabled it when the monsters get below the threshold - 100. Note: Monsters spawn in groups so this is a rough threshold. The limit can be set in the configuration. You can also completely disable this there as well. Let me know how this works out for you.

Features:

• Massively reduces needless disc usage
• Chunks stay in RAM longer

If you have any other ideas let me know I can look into if they are feasible or not.
60 Seconds Without the plugin on a idle server:

Average Disc Traffic: 1041Bps
60 Seconds With the plugin on as idle server:

Average Disc Traffic: ... none.

There is, actually. Just have to cancel health regeneration events.
There should be a feature on craftbukkit to turn off monster spawns without involving peacefull mode, but i think that's just how minecraft server is coded and there's not much stuff for bukkit team to work with.
And when i mean "turn off", I didn't mean cancel every spawn event by checking if it is above limit. That's a bit CPU overkill in my opinion, because the server just keep spamming spawn events even though you keep on canceling them (especially if your limit is low and if there's plenty of space for mobs to spawn). It can be performed without lag, but that's the wrong way to go, imo.

I'm actually rewriting it pretty much from scratch, while keeping LexManos ideas and short pieces of code. I'll keep in touch when it's done, but not before it's actually fully tested on my own private server, so don't expect anything in the upcoming week (and as I'm a noob in plugin making, I have to make my teeth on it).

 

The new config files are in .prop file format, maybe that's why your computer doesn't show them.

 

Does it work for build #1060?

 

Seems to be working corectly for me on 1060 .

 

Using the recompiled plugin for [1000] on build [1060] seems to work. I've configured it so that it cuts down my memory usage when idling in half.

 

i cant find a forum post for the forked version anywhere... whats the name?

 

Is there a forum post for the forked version?

 

the forked version wasnt actually forked. they made a new thread and didnt change anything and called it thiers.
