what takes up most of the RAM used by the MUD? the answer is room
descriptions..also, it seems logical that most of the room descriptions
are sitting unused most of the time..
so..i created a patch that will unload room descriptions when the zone
they are in is unoccupied, and reload them when they are needed..it will
also unload all room descriptions when the mud goes to sleep..
this should help those who are running MUDs on machines with limited
memory, on ISP machines, or just have a LOT of rooms..
i have uploaded the patch to the circlemud ftp site..it is called
"desc_load.tar.gz"
any comments, improvements, bug finds..please email me
