463Pl: Players on the map. 438known to the server. The different fields are Pl, I, Svd, Reset and Path:
464PlM: Players on the map recounted (should be the same as Pl). 439
465IM: In memory means whether the map is: 1) in memory, 2) swapped to disk, 440=over 4

469Reset: Real server time when the map is going to reset. 444=item I: B<I>n memory, B<S>wapped out or B<L>oading.
445
446The server keeps maps in memory only for a short time (by default about
44740 seconds). After that time, it saves them to disk. As the server loads
448most maps in the background it is possible that you can see a map that is
449currently being loaded, but that's rare, as loading a map is fast.
450
451=item Svd: the amount of seconds the map was last saved (++ means >99).
452
453The server by default tries to save each map at least every 20 seconds if
454it changed, so in case of a disastrous crash (one where the server cannot
455emergency save), at most 20 seconds of gameplay are lost.
456
457=item Reset: the minimum number of seconds the map will stay as is (will not reset).
458
459Most maps will not reset as long as players are on it, and usually the
460reset counter only starts going down when all players left the map. Some
461maps will never reset in the common sense, these are usually marked with a

526per second to your client. If the rate is exceeded, the server tries to
527hold back less important information (such as new images) to increase
528responsiveness.

530The server-side default is usually quite high, around 100000. If the
531server is running on a Linux kernel, it will adjust to the actual
532bandwidth available, and output-rate only sets an upper bound. That is,
533the server will automatically set an optimal send rate and adjusting your
