I wouldn't trust anything online about the server unless it's from Mojang/Notch himself.
The server code is not optimised at all and does some really stupid things.
You're welcome :)
Seems daft not to - all my PC is used for these days is listening to iPlayer in bed and burning DVDs. It may as well get some use :D
LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL :'D
Wool is flammable. HTH
Jebus - the map plugin creates a 11.5MB PNG file :|
What's best to do with it? I've uploaded it to Flikr so far, but that only lets you view a 1024* 473 image, and the original is 9130*4218 :|

Jayzus that's big :| (YJ)
I think my mine is going to need expanding :'D
Probably don't even need to go that far - I suspect a 75% JPEG would balance filesize/quality acceptably.
I wonder if doing a 8-bit PNG with only 64 colours might even give a good balance - just tried it on the above image and it comes out at 103KB (i.e. 40% filesize of the JPG).
There are PNG optimising utilities that can probably do that in a scripted way.
