Greetings.  Some time ago there was a request for postings on MUD resource
usage statistics.   While I can't give you stats on a whole lot of of stuff
I CAN post some stats about my MUD.

I run AfterFive at pa.itd.com 9999  128.160.2.249 9999

Its currently a TinyMUCK2.2.9.3-patched server enhanced by Doran and Claudius
at PythonMUCK.  I have made several modifications and thus these stats are
NOT representative of this usage for this type of server.

I'm running on a Sun Sparc 2 workstation with SunOS 4.1.1 I compiled with the
gcc version 1.40 with the -g and -pipe flags.    Here is what the @stats
looked like moments before shutdown.

Universe stats:
Rooms    :  212        Exits    :  457      
Things   :  104        Programs :  199      
Players  :  1925       Processes:  4        
Garbage  :  84         Total    :  2981     

AfterFive normally goes up aprox 5 pm Central and is shutdown at 8 am.
During this time period my status file showed.......

493 TOTAL CONNECTIONS
 54 SUCCESSFUL PLAYER CREATIONS
 50 UNSUCCESSFUL PLAYER CREATIONS
 20 WIZARD WALLS
 36 DATABASE DUMPS TO DISK
 41 MAX NUMBER OF USERS ACTIVE AT ONE TIME AND IDLE LESS THEN 1 HOUR

Our maximum number of users occurred for Monday at   Mon Apr  6 23:51:03

The TinyMUCK process itself used the following resources..........
