    Server seems to use too much ram

    I'm running a local server atm, so It's only me. When starting up one map(world map) the server jumps all the way up to about 2000 mb of ram. JUST FOR THE WORLD MAP. I've never had this problem before, I'm not for sure what can be causing it.
    Anyone know anything?
    At the rate of that, and only having assianged 2012 mb of ram to the server, i crashes my gamedbd, authd, and the world map I started. (Technicaly it terminates them cause I run out of memory)

    Note: I haven't added anything new since I was at my other house.
    Note2: It seems as if it never stops going up, It exceeded 3gb of ram till it force closed the server.

    You need a very large amount of ram to run the world map (700ish MB even for a default one) if you start adding a bunch of things it will start to go up

    If you have other non-PW related daemons running on the same vm of course RAM will be exhausted rather quickly...

    Make sure you have a swap that is at least the size of twice the ram (so 4 gb for you)

    Is it possible that being at a different house with a significantly lower internet speed could cause the server to try to use more ram to start everything up and keep it running?
    My swap is only like 500. But has never been a problem, never used more then like 100 swap. I'm fixing this on a laptop atm, so I only have 4 GB of ram. I figure when I go back to my house Sunday night, and I try to start the server up, if it doesn't use ram that much, then it was the net speed.
    Possible?

    Well, was just a theory because this started when I came here for the weekend, I changed/added nothing, it's the same exact server image as I had perfectly working at my other house.

    Problem still exists.
