1.22 is the recommended version by the ForgeEssentials team, so tbat's the one I have. I used to have Cauldron. the performance improvements were amazibg. but one of my mods could not work with cauldron, so i tried pure forge. (using FE for permissions, protection and such) performance went down the toilet. after Fastcraft things got better, specially start up time, but TPS improvement was not so great. I was wondering if there are plans for optimizing FastCraft server even further, maybe drawing inspiration from Cauldron. offtopic, your mod was branded as malicious by McAfee SiteAdvisor, and I'm doing what I can to get it promoted to safe.
