If the new gamemode is more efficient and optimized, it shouldnt, in theory, lag on a good server.
Before 2.9 was released, 2.8 moved to the current server. A lot of people noticed a change in performance, the server was pretty laggy, barely playable at around 60 players. Totally unplayable at 100.
Now with 2.9, apparently being better. The server is basically unplayable at around 40+ players. Everyone is warping and 6 - 10+ shotting.
You said this was a change in the .30 build. But when 2.9 was first live. The server was extremely laggy, and as soon as the random vehicle spawner was removed, the lag decreased. It still remained laggy, just not as severe.
It would be interesting to see the results of a poll. Where the players vote on which things to keep and remove. Open a topic and allow people to suggest features they see as dispensable. And if they'd rather have a server full of one time glance features or a nice smoothe stable server as it used to be.
Just out of interest thats all. To see what people think.
Another thing with the vehcile handler. Vehicles are being left empty for a long time, after use. Leaving around 15+ vehicles in popular areas, which makes it laggy. Their respawn delay seems way too long.

Even before the optimizations, there was nothing intense about the feature to cause any lag at all. The only changes that could have possibly decreased the server performance for build 30 are that of the MySQL database, but that goes beyond my knowledge.
