  - Client leverages block chunk short pool
  - Client doesn't load physics on entities by default
  - Block chunk disk map writes files without allocating a buffer
+ - Increase memory limit 6GB->8GB
+ - Server block chunk disk map writes directly to output stream instead of inbetween buffer
 Increase human move speed
 LOD components re-attach physics
 VectorPool->JomlPool
