Server lag. How to improve perf

Hi guys, everything is going great with my dedicated server. I got it up and running,

got it to be open to the rest of the internet and got it to show up on the "Servers" listing

in-game, all with the help of this forum.

Now, one thing I want to ask about is how to improve server performance. I get A LOT

of lag all the time. It doesn't last forever, it's just a few seconds, and it happens over

and over every 2 o 3 minutes. I know the server reports to the master list every x time,

and I think I saw errors coming up on the server console and on the client console, just

wouldn't know how to interpret them. What info would you need to help me? What do

I need to do first, to get things running smoothly. I want to thank you all for helping me

so much with all this, I'm just a fan, trying to bring the battle closer to my fellow southamerican

players.
