First noticed in 5.1 server, but it has carried over to 5.2dr1 for me at least.

What happens is i zone into say sebilis using 5.2dr1 and tcs database, and the far right number on lag-o-meter on client starts out at 30-500 which i consider normal MOST of the time. Then it steadily moves upwards over 30 sec to 10000 - 15000 .. Ummm..

This has been reproducable on other servers i visit so i dont just think its me??

Watching my server my cpu cllimbs a slow steady hill till it gets to around 90 percent usage and pegs there, memory also slowlt climbs over time.

Just for giggles i went through DB and eliminated JUST the pet spells for NPCs... and bingo problem solved... bandwidth and cpu usage came wayyy down. Worst peaks after that were 1000-2000 and about 15 percent cpu usage fighting a ton of mobs at once...


Has anyone else had this problem?? If its just me what the bleep am i doing wrong?
