Let's say server owner A has a server that frequently uses too much CPU. Server owner B decides to buy a server from serverFFS and owner B's server is installed onto the same server as owner A's server. Owner A's server starts hogging all the resources, and then owner B's server lags and starts dropping connections. Server owner B contacts support, only to be told that nothing can be done because server owner A is using up all the server's resources. At the end of the day, it's either a script or SA:MP issue, and it really has nothing to do with serverFFS. serverFFS are just limiting resource usage to make it fair for everyone, which is perfect, and exactly how it should be done. Also note that they won't restart servers that peak at high CPU usage, they only do it if it uses that amount of CPU for a decent period of time.

So, explain this...

The cause could be any number of issues which we're investigating as we speak. Do NOT dismiss this as a poorly optimized game mode, as our tests have proven otherwise - so far. There is still testing to do though. (I'm not speaking on Woet's behalf, I'm speaking as a server owner/beta team member trying to figure out what's causing the high CPU usage).

Maybe serverFFS need to re-calculate how much CPU should be available for each server. A friend who runs a server hosted on serverFFS has experienced this recently, I can't myself, say that I've ever had this problem as I optimize all my code as much as possible and never really had many players to experiment my code on.
