Mesecons debug
This article provides information about Mesecons hud to estimate server resource consumption in different places and provide better measurements.
It is not made to blame anyone, since we are trying to figure out how to actually use HUD and interpret its values. This article in no way implies you should go and blame someone for high values: some players did a lot to minimize lag, but still have machines. Plus, many machines don't work full-time. Please don't go and blame people.
To see Mesecons HUD, type "/mesecons_hud on". Be sure to read Mesecons guidelines
