Long time without any news, but I'm here again...
Latest nightly build 2290 (21 may 2015) got a huge improvement on the following internal code:

• Skills
• Walk
• General ticks (status regen, timer updates, NPC AI, ...)
  

These codes must run million of times per day, since all players/NPCs are walking, using skills and running background general ticks at every second. But now we got an optimized code, resulting in a faster performance overall.

Of course servers with light wordsave, few players/NPCs or running on a high performance CPU won't notice any significant changes on performance, but this can be useful when we got a heavy worldsave, many players/NPCs or a low performance CPU.

These changes are already live on nightly builds, and as always, feel free to report it on BugTracker if something goes wrong.

Sorry, I dont know if I am doing something wrong or not, but;
I couldnt find the "SphereSvr.exe" in the latest nightly zip file

There is a problem when the last compile process fails, i think. When that happens there is no nightly build until the next day the process complete successfully
