Ok i'm back, had it running on my 32p server for over 24h.
From what I could see the plugin is stable on some maps (dust, dust2).
But when it's running on Aztec or Inferno it does spike everyone.
This happends like maybe once or twice tops per map cycle and last for about 1 minute.
I'm talking changes from 35 latency to 120-150.
Aztec and Inferno are a bit large maps with more detailed backgrounds etc etc.
So that might play a role in why it spikes.
I've tried both versions, the one from the first page and the one you last uploaded Hoboman.
I restored all the plugins that were working properly and weren't causing any spikes to make sure it's caused by this plugin.
I suppose if there was a way (just a wild guess) to make the plugin load the local skins a client is using it might reduce the necessary loading.
Server didn't crash though, so the version in your last post is somewhat stable.
