It should be mentioned in this context, however, that I recently managed to figure out a potentially workable method for parallelizing the server so that it can distribute its load over multiple CPUs, and that would also, to a very large extent, take care of the performance problems associated with map-loading. It would be quite some work involved in it, but assuming that I can make it work, I expect the server to be able to scale very well over multiple CPUs. A 4-way SMP system (e.g. a simple computer using a 4-core CPU) would then, I expect, be able to host somewhere between 1500-2000 users; and it should be able to continue scaling rather well with added CPUs.

edit: radiate is a bad word, picks of hypothetical particles and unbalances them so they get radiated away would be closer to the truth I guess? I'm not a physicist though
