I must have missed this post in the catchup from my vacation. I'm
interested in MUD performance data, too. Mostly because I think mine
is the fastest there is, of course. :-) Several years ago when mine
was still "AmigaMUD", someone did some comparisons between it and
the LPMud of the time and it was lots faster than that, but I know
the LP's have gotten a lot faster, and I've gotten my new bytecode
engine. So, is there anyone out there that has downloaded my server
(the hits can't all have been search engines!) who is in a position
to compare it to the latest LP's?

That does seem a lot. The other performance question is of course
execution time. There at least profiling tools can give good
information.
