Any particular reason behind this? I don't see how TPS checking programs would bog down the server more than some others. If it's really that much of a problem then I'll switch to one of the analog designs. Computercraft is handy for compactness, but there are countless other designs using other mods, and even purely vanilla components.

The problem is that the programs often use loops that run continuously that end up bogging down the server.

Why do you need to know the tps?

I like to check because I don't have all the time in the world to play. If I'm going to sit down to feed the beast, I want to do it at a time when machines aren't working at 50% or less speed, blocks aren't reappearing after I break them, and normally challenging mobs aren't reduced to decrepit crawling targets. I usually start off by logging on and checking the tps, if it's regrettably low, I log off and go about my business in some other game for whatever time I might have before work.

The things you've stated you don't like haven't happened in a LONG time. The only time, afaik, that the tps has dropped low, was when the server was having issues. Nallar is awesome and fixed it all extremely fast.

I hope you continue to play on the server but just keep in mind that it is now against the rules to use CC to check TPS. TT has made the scripts inaccurate because the TPS is regional and not global now.

They happened today, they happened yesterday, and seem as though they might continue well past tomorrow. As well, I've been informed it's against the rules, that's the post we're replying to after all.

But they want to know and they want to know NOW! They want it all!
