Server lag?

Recently, there's been a lot of block lag. Often, I have to break many blocks twice for them to drop. I heard it had something to do with the portal plugin. Any idea on when it's going to be fixed?

Nevermind, it's fixed.

I updated the PortalStick plugin.

Don't know if this is related, but for the past 24 hours or so I have experienced an ever increasing amount of lag.
It's getting rather frustrating to break the same blocks 2-3 times and not to mention dealing with mobs.

Though it is kinda cool to see the stars break dance their way across the night sky

Unfortunately, Essentials is run on this server, so gradual lag increase is inevitable.

Essentials?

I'll work on a fix when I have a computer.

meh, i constantly get 100-200ms lag from socal, with the occasional spike.
+1 for break dancing stars =]

nvm, getting less than 80ms tonite. w00t!
