Jeff, I absolutely love your map. It is breathtakingly beautiful. There is a big problem with it right now, I dont know why, but I will list the issues I have run into in order of most important.

I do not use any server manager, such as ASM.

1. Server boot: On server boot, it take 6x as long as any other map to load. It will use half of my total system ram (32gb DDR3 total), 16 gb+ ram is being used. That is enormous and is only present with your map. Couple this with it taking 6x as long to even start and this is with a SSD. It can take roughly 30 minutes for this map to boot in comparison to 3-5 minutes of every other map I used. (Shigo Islands, Valhalla, Dinotopia, The Center, The Island, there is not a map I have not used from time to time). And, while waiting this 30 minutes it will sometimes crash. I have no idea why this issue is only present with your map, maybe you can figure it out?

2. NPCs: Specifically water based npcs. There is an enormous amount of overspawn of fish. Coals, Salmon, Pihiranna. But in the swamp area it is the same with Toads, Sarcos or Spinos. We are not talking a bigger population, we are talkign fps dropping to 1-3 fps from thousands of these npcs. It is such an over spawn, I have disabled all fish, all three types. I have cut the spawning ability of Sarcos, Spinos and Toads by 75%. I am yet to be able to launch the server yet after waiting 35 minutes for it to launch and do a destroywilddinos I got a crash as soon as it finally launched.

These are the only two issues, number one making it almost to the point where I do not want to even attempt to launch the server running this map.

Below are my system specs:

AMD Athlon X4 860k 4.1gb
32gb DDR3 (PC-12500)
Sapphire R7 370 4gb GDDR5 x 2 (crossfire) (crossfire diabled for server hosting)
500gb ADATA SSD
750w Corasair PSU

I have so much more in terms of HDD and other things for this system, none that would have any specific issue with running a server.

In comparison on average every map and server I run, even with 50+ mods takes me less than 5 minutes to boot. This map is taking 30 minutes. I dont know why this is, but I hope you can figure it out. Thanks for your time.
