I am looking for a little friendly advice on reducing CPU usage...

I upgraded my shard to Beta33 and my processor utilization has gone from an average of 3% (with Beta32) to a constant 95% with Beta33 as well as using almost 100 more MB of RAM. The lag is very annoying (like every 3 steps, a few seconds of lag, 3 steps, a few seconds of lag, wash rinse repeat...).

I poked around the forums and tried a few things (like making sure the NPC "idle" mode was enabled) and it hasn't helped. I did disable the new pathfinding and that did bring the utilization down a tad, but not enough.

I am figuring I didn't update something correctly, but I just wanted to check with the experts first. For now, I reverted back to Beta32 (ahh, backups are good).

Thank you very much for your time. It is appreicated (honestly).
