I don't believe there is a linux version of the sockets module at the moment, meaning this is a windows- only plugin, until someone compiles the sockets module for linux.

As for the FPS drop, there should be "#define wsec 50000" at the top of the code, change that to "#define wsec 25000" - if you still get preformance issues, cut that in half again. If you go too low, the plugin *may* stop detecting some of the messages sent from IRC.

That value controls how long the server waits for data on each, so larger values cause the server to pause at each server_frame. I'm thinking thats why you get poor preformace.. That parameter shouldn't even be required in the sockets module, but I don't know why it is.

And are you sure the fps drop was caused by the irc plugin and not the sockets module?
