Do you have VPS or dedicated. One of the problems with VPS can be that the network buffering might not be sufficient with really high packet amounts.

* First, be sure that the getstatus exploit is properly removed from the threats. * Take a look at the cpu and memory consumption with top command. If the problem is recent, i.e. there wasn't problems before with same player amounts and same settings, the issue may be external. E.g. the getstatus exploiting, the ET300 which I suspect you are using. 3 MB user.db is not a really big yet and should not cause problems. It is too early to make promises but the networking has been investigated again and it is possible that improvements will be made to the next version.

yes deleting/re-uploading is boring, but just change the extension, for the server will not load them: example venice.pk3 => venice.pkNO

If the binary update fixed this, then it was just a matter of luck that it happened on the shuffle. I'm glad it is now fixed.
