Upon players joining my server they experience intense latency on near everything they do, most report at least 15-30 seconds between dropping a block with Q and it appearing in the world and get killed my mobs that they can not fight back.
After a good few minutes the lag passes and the the player runs smoothly.
I am using FTB Ultimate server on my home PC (i5-3570k @4.3Ghz w/ 8GB RAM) with the launch code "-Xms512M -Xmx1G" and often play on the server myself (GTX670 GPU) along with up to 4 people. It doesn't seem to matter what i am doing on my PC, whether it be nothing or Crysis, the server has exactly the same issues.
My bandwidth is quite low (2-4Mb/s Down 400-600Kb/s Up)
I used to run a vanilla server on my 7 year old laptop with around 8 people on consistently with no issues what so ever.
Has anyone experienced a similar issue or has any idea how to resolve the issue? I am a technically experienced individual but can not get my head around this other than it being my upload capacity being maxed out when uploading the world chunks to the players when they first join. But why is this only occurring now and never occurred on my old vanilla server on awful hardware and a vastly explored world?
If nobody knows how to resolve this then I will get to monitoring everything about my PC and the server to try and pinpoint the problem and post any results and fixes I might find myself.
Thanks.
tldr; players LAG when they first join my small ultimate server: WHY??
