Only if you have ALOT and i mean ALOT of plugins it can slighty impact your server but generally this is only if there heavy duty plugins. Most Administrative or basic functionality plugins won't cause any issues.

Plugins that use server frames are the worst offender. When writing plugins try to find the best coded method, utilizing the best amxmodx module to achieve the task. Don't write a plugin using 4 -5 modules when it could of been written in a way that only uses 1 or 2

AMXX doesn't really make that much of a tangible difference on your servers performance.

1.8.3 is predominately a build based on things learned over the years being better integrated into the AMXX core. Some plugins require you to use 1.8.3. Personally i use it on all my servers.

You can set up map specific configs and map specific plugin files so that plugins are only loaded on certain maps

Thank you.

For true 1000 FPS flat you want to set ,
sys_ticrate 10000

this will make your server run at 1000FPS Flat out give or take a few digits. At 1000FPS flat out the server renders frames at 1ms which will give you the best hit registration( but at a cost of higher cpu usage), compared to 10ms on a standard 100FPS server.

eg:

998
1043
987
996
1012
999
984
1002


For this to work if its a windows server your game server provider must also be running a high resolution timer on there dedicated server box

If there not running a HRT tell them to download and keep running at all times an executable called srcdsbooster.exe
( I believe there may be a HRT metamod module as well )
