I'm starting to get performance issues on the pack and was wondering if anyone could me help understand the jargon, so I can try and work out a way to improve the situation. I see mention of 'FPS lag', 'TPS lag' and now, having searched around the web, 'microstutter' but don't really know what these things mean. The last one *sounds* like what I'm suffering from, but it's really hard to be sure when there's so much noise on the interwebs.
Anyway, this particular phenomena is new to me. I've played a few packs and have had other issues. For example, on DW20's latest pack, everything is smooth but every 20 secs or so I get a big 'freeze' (usually just as I'm attacking a bloody creeper). I'm guessing that's referred to as a 'lag spike'.
That's not the problem here. What's happening is lots and lots of little 'freezes' that are becoming more and more noticeable as I progress through the pack. Worst case is when I'm harvesting crops, but even when placing blocks, there's a teeny delay in clicking and the blocks appearing.
Is that 'microstutter'?
PS Only reason I'm posting this here is that I've only had this issue whilst playing this pack.
