Nah doesn't seem to be a problem for me bud, might just be your connection,
I was in and around new spawn when you logged on and complained of lagging... and had no lag myself at all. In fact, it was smoother than it had ever been since the 1.4 upgrade. Not sure why you are lagging. Perhaps you need to re-install Java? Or perhaps your internet connection was the problem.
No it isn't
Why should it? everyone is concentrated in one area, rather then 14000 different chunks.
I haven't lagged in New Spawn even the slightest.
I get no lag whatsoever Mage its not the spawn thats lagging its just YOU
