I have been trying to locate the cause of my ~140% cpu usage for the past month. I have finally found that it is definitely spout. With spout enabled, ~140% cpu usage. Without spout enabled, it is around 50-70%. Night and day in my opinion. This is with a few hour run with and without with appx the same amount of players verified multiple times of enabling and disabling. The plugins I have that use spout are factions, mcmmo and vanishnopackit(#1 reason I do not want to lose spout).

The spout thread does not seem to be specifically causing the high cpu usage but it creates a significant amount more lag on the main thread. I do not know what else to do to fix this so I will just have to disable spout for the time being. Please let me know if you have any ideas how to fix this. Also I have noticed in the spout client that when you break blocks, very often the
blocks it was in contact with will be invisible. I do not know if this is related but it is another symptom. Thank you!
