performance issue warnings?!

dont know if thats important, but enabled debug and get some performance issue warnings in amxx logs:

using latest amxmodx 1.10.x / metamod-r/ rehlds/ regamedll_cs on linux and the last git-version of mapmanagermodular. these messages are shown in the logs after every mapchange.

How many entries are in your config files? One of the most expensive actions is reading files, if you have a lot of entries in files, then this can take longer than other actions. I don't think this is an issue, the files are only read once at server start. To disable performance logs use amx_perflog_ms cvar (set to zero).

the maps.ini contains about 400 maps, with configured min/max/priority - fun-aim.ini about 50 maps and these messages appear after every mapchange.

The fact that there is an indicator to show performance issue is good imho. Every map manager i've used has always had performance issues ( Galileo, Deagles Map Manager,, and one of the main problems of this is reading the maps list, and then outputting that to the client. From what i gather if the map count is over 600+, then server performance issues start to become apparent. After 900 maps theres a noticeable hang while connecting to the server, and after map change or a server start. If im not mistaken, the server lag/hang is only obvious during server start. This problem was temporarily circumvented via this : https://forums.alliedmods.net/showpost.php?p=2784331&postcount=264 , however this introduced other problems. For the most part though, it certainly stopped the server hang with 900+ maps.
