I’ve been getting quite a few complaints about the server lag ever since I updated to minecraft 1.8. Since people are instantly keen to blaming my server hardware/network for this, let me clarify a few things.
1) My network is still healthy and the 100mbit speed test verified that. The CPU usage is about 24% for the server and it’s using about 1.8gb of ram (which is considerably more then what 1.7.3 used x.x)
2) Many other servers are experiencing this. I had the same, exact lag on other servers 10x more powerful then mine.
3) Minecraft 1.8 pre-release is laggy. It’s a PRE-release for a reason meaning it hasn’t passed the QA phase of release entirely. This is just another bug that needs to be sorted out.
4) I’ve looked and there’s no known fix for this yet. Guess you guys will have to wait until 1.8 comes out officially for the bugs to be fixed.
