A lot of our slowdown currently is due to IO load. We can probably reduce some of this by disabling all `fsync` calls on write, using the `eatmydata` wrapper. This issue requests: - Launch the minecraft game server with eatmydata - should be a simple tweak to the launch script - Launch mariadb with eatmydata - a symlink or change to launch script could work - Ditto overviewer - Observe IO load before and after the change, using iotop, htop's IO view, etc https://manpages.debian.org/testing/eatmydata/eatmydata.1.en.html
