Hey there, I just started up a server together with someone on a home desktop server. We decided to go public with our server, and we wanted to keep up a good lag-free server. Our problem here is, is that we have occasional lag spikes, or freezes for people. We're running on the mindcrack pack with ForgeEssentials for protection.
We decided to check what our server was using as ram. It only uses about 400mb of ram, but it says it's using about 35% of what's allocated to it, which I find weird, since we double checked that we allocated 8gb.
And besides that, it keeps saying that the server can't keep up, while we use an i5 Sandy bridge, with 8gb ram allocated.

So a quick summary of our problem:

We have lag spikes and freezes.
Server uses 400mb of ram, and doesn't seem to make full use of the ram.
We run on mindcrack.
The console keeps saying it can't keep up.
Our specs for the server are an i5 sandy bridge processor, and 12gb of ram total.

We'd really appreciate it if you're able to help :)

Thanks in advance!
