Howdy,
We just moved to a new house this last weekend, so I'm still without internet access at home until later today. Resourcer/Source Control access should be back up by tonight for all the devs.
Anyway, good news... I tried out GNU lib called "DLMALLOC", which is a replacment memory allocator. Under testing, this brought CPU usage down from 50% to 15% running the same code, but with this different memory allocator. Obviously, this will help the server/client code run much faster than before, which in turn should reduce the lag.
I've started implementing/compiling Gideon's changes to the gadgets and ships. Beta should be updated sometime this week once I get everything compiling again.
-Richard

On a related note...
If it takes Faustus a while to get the stuff I did in to code, don't blame him.
Appearantly, I'm the master of making typos. 
So this time, the blame for any delayes rests solely on my shoulders.
