I'm new to the server, so if these suggestions sound stupid please forgive me.

I've been walking around a little and saw these two cube-like arrays of redstone torch and wire just sitting there. They appear to be doing absolutely nothing. They also appear to be causing no harm, especially to such a powerful server. But these large arrays of redstone could be causing huge amounts of lag for the server. Maybe consider removing them?

Also, (now this one may sound super stupid) I've only been playing for 2 days now, but it appears that there are no more than 200 players ON at any given time. That being said, why are you allocating enough RAM for 1000 players? I would suggest maybe 500 slots at most, maybe fewer... i don't know how many users you have say on weekends or at peak hours of the day, but 1000 seems a bit too much from what I've seen.

Please consider these suggestions.

I appreciate any feedback.

yeah..., i mentioned that whole 1000 slots thing once too. Expecially on survival. There are no more than like... 1-2 people on at a time, yet there's 9001 (maybe an OVER 9000 joke?) don't think that would cause lag anyway, iit's a dif server but still

okay, makes sense, but i still think these redstone things are just stupid.
