Long #repop and zone times after source upgrade

[trevius]

Plugins.pl has nothing to do with your problem.

What version/Date of source were you previously running and which one are you using now? Are you seeing a lot of chat messages in game? If you have a lot of logging turned on, I have found that it tends to start queuing up and #commands aren't very responsive or won't work at all if you are getting spammed too much.

I haven't seen any issues with #repop or zoning other than when I had turned on perl debug logging and was using a massive loop that was sending non-stop quest::debug() messages to my chat window.

Ah, that explains a lot! Thanks.

I tried renaming the logs, quests, and plugins folder to try and sniff out the problem. None of which had any significant effect on the problem.

14 Sec loading without logs, quests or plugin folder.
23 Sec Loading with log folder, quests, and plugin.

In my log folder under subdir called 'zone' i am getting big log files like 10mb to 30mb for a specific zone.

What is weird though is when the quest is commented away that loads the weapon plugin random weapons on spawn it still has a substantial lag in popping. (The script used to work with instant popping without issues)/
