Yeh that's obviously a spelling choice and not a typo...

I'm pretty sure that is possible, but that would mean the server has to calculate stuff twice as often, needing twice the processing power, lagging twice as much. And just deleting code to make something faster might work, but it's like ripping pages out of a book to be able to read it faster, you could do it, but it wouldn't be a good book anymore, and in the worst case, you wouldn't understand the story.

We have plans in the works to make the existing server a lot faster using multithreading, but since the the majority of the server code was originally written to run on one thread it isn't something that happens overnight. The good news is that we are getting closer to the point where we can fully implement multithreading, and the server should run 2 to 3 times faster once we get it operational.

HAL, please take your time and try to eliminate all possible errors.


This is a crucial stage which could improve ss greatly, wait until its 110% ready before releasing it :wink:
