So either my friends are very lucky with their server or minecraft 1.3.1 is crazy efficient with ram: Yes we are upgrading the cpu soon as it always is hovering around 100% and as we all know minecraft really only uses one core.
Improved overall stability and performance: · Reduced CPU, RAM & bandwidth usage. · Accelerated chunk loading. · Decreased lag spike frequency. · Made the Nether less laggy. · Decreased unnecessary world updates. · Made the chat work smoothly even when the server is laggy. · Decreased packets sent between client and server. Hopefully they weren't kidding
Yea but you wouldn't think it was this much. In 1.2.5 That same were was using around 1.5-1.7gb ram. Right now in 1.3.1 as in the picture it is only around around 300mb.
