OK, so if it is not polling why does it only happen when a disconnect
occures? Does anyone have any ideas? Just for testing sake, i just took a
mortal and disconnected him and watched my load soar up, I am going to wait
for him to idle out and see if the load returns to normal.
Note: this has nothing to do with combat lag or transmition of data, the
character in question just is "cut off" and no one else is even logged into
the mud. it may *result* in lag though, and some of my players have bitched
about that.
This one boggles me, heck maybe it is a FreeBSD bug, but I like to hope not
:-)
