You are hearing it from the horse's mouth pellik. The servers have more than twice the overhead needed to run the arenas.
What you are describing is network and local computer load as being an issue.
My reply here is moot since skuzzy came out and stated server load isn't an issue, but I'm gonna elaborate anyway since I was apparently slightly (and arbitrarily) misunderstood.
Right, netstat is representative of latency. Thus when netstat is "flat" latency is constant and the problem isn't with the network on either side.
The server lag problems I've seen when netstat is stable are infrequent, sugguesting something along the lines of a memory leak or broken loop in the server code, or elsewhere on the server. They are usually proceeded by a MA reset. Or possibly some hax0rs afoot.
My concern with the report system is disk usage. I believe you when you sugguest that system resources are relatively free on your servers. I'm curious about how much storage keeping every single vox comment would take.
-p.
