RaspberryPi - Questions

[ThuGie]

Hey guys,

I am finally thinking of getting myself a raspi!
Yes kinda late but still.

Now, since my main pc is mostly working again,
Still need to finish some stuff up, i plan to work on some stuff mc related.

And i plan to use the raspi to do that on.

Now, if i recall since raspi has some lag issues with mc, and the amount of players it supports.
What is it that limits the amount of players ram or cpu ?
And what causes most lag ?

I do not plan to generate anything, simple static, read-only worlds will be used.
I do assume that causes the most lag.

Will that indeed solve most lag issues ?
It should also help a bit with the ram i assume, as i plan to keep the worlds quite smallish.

So how many players would mc be able to host on something like this,
Of course i ordered the cooling etc for the pi, and plan to overclock it to if i recall the cap is 1ghz ?
For ram i have not quite found a nice solution to extend on it.
There seems to be something like zram, that compresses/uncompresses on the fly,
But of course we would need more cpu power.. probably slowing things down again causing lag.

https://extremeshok.com/1457/raspberry-p...ng-memory/ for zram information.

Now, i highly doubt i will be able to get a easy and go answer to all of this haha.
But i have noticed quite a few people been playing with the raspi,
And probably have been trying out different things to decrease lag, and increase the amount of players.

Thanks in advance.

Extra, seems after some searching, you are able to overclock the raspi higher then 1ghz, just need some quite good cooling.. any tips on this ?
What have you clocked it to and what are you using to cool it while it still being able to run stable ?
