Beam latency spiral
Created by: clusterfack
In the last round someone murdered themselves using three emitters in the supermatter chamber, and since they died the emitters were left on forever. (The singularity ate all the other containment emitters when it went loose).
After a while (about 20 minutes after I first noticed his corpse) we began to lag harder than usual (beyond the lag from hundreds of spiders we spawned), and below is a pic of a profile during that time.
It got even worse after this jumping from about 4000 calls to 5000 a minute later before we deleted the emitters causing it to stop. Possible causes, the emitters hitting the corpse in the center of the chamber or related to all the objects strewn about inside from when he stripped.
