but on a different note, the lag does occur only because of the people on adjacent levels. if you walk a few levels away from everyone, you'll notice all the lag is gone. so with that said, it's because of the amount of data being sent from people like constant gani-changes from idle->walk->sword etc, among constant movement packets from each player - and with about 20-30 people in all these levels, of course lag is going to exist. if you remember graal in the older times, when the best processor was a pentium 3 with like 650-800 mhz.. there was lag back then too although there was a lot more multi-tasking going on with computers then such as aol always having to be on for dialup connections etc..
but it wasn't that bad because it was levels, not really a map.

High RAM usage doesn't affect
performance itself, unless it's so high that things have to be dropped in and out off the hard drive every few seconds. Highly unlikely this is the case though.
Everything that you're saying has more to do with networking and memory management than FPS issues themselves, really.
Can we all just face the truth and say that the Graal client is a bit unoptimized at this stage of the game?
