    Can anyone recommend something to make my server perform better? I have seen some posts about java tweaks and such but i have a feeling a lot of them are out dated.

    I have a dedicated server with the following specs
    CPU: AMD Athlon™ II X4 605e @ 2.3 GHz
    RAM: 12 GB RAM (7 GB for Minecraft 3 GB for ram disk, Rest for the OS)
    Operating System: Windows Server 2008 R2

    Network Speed is 100 Mbit

    Currently my server runs fine up to about 35 or 40 players. Over that i start get lag spikes. Not bad lag just annoying spikes that cause some blocks to reappear and i feel that the server should be able to handle more players. I was hoping for it to handle about 60 players. The server CPU usage usually sits around 40 to 50% with 30 ish players on although there are some spikes and sometimes one core is used more than the others. I was thinking of reinstalling the server with some distro of Linux instead of windows. I prefer to use windows because it is just more user friendly and i don’t mind giving up some ram for it. However it could possibly be degrading the server performance i would be willing to switch it for debian or Ubuntu. Also if it means anything i'm using McMyAdmin to run my server.

    I do run a lot of plugins. About 35 but i have tried disabling a lot of them and i didn’t notice any real performance changes.

    I have also had complaints about night/day cycle lasting too long and smelting items in furnace taking ages. i have herd this is to do with lag but i don’t no how to go about fixing it really.

    So i would like to ask if anyone could give me any tips or info on getting it to run smoother or am i just asking too much out of this server for it to run with 60 players and no lag.

    If anyone is intrested the server address is mc.madgaming.eu

    For reference here is the list of plugins that i have got installed.

    Many Thanks
