Poor performance with OP hardware

I'm playing on a fairly standard world with between 5 to 15 other players and it sometimes runs very slowly despite the CPU usage also being low.

It's an old Xeon but it is effectively 3 * i7 2700k CPUs, with 32GB of RAM and Windows 10 so it should have no trouble whatsoever running just this one world.   Server.properties max threads is set to 12.

I have to keep killing entities, any more than around 300 and the ticks per second becomes noticeably low.   Ticking area has been scaled back to 4 chunks but it still performs very poorly.

Like Benjamin, I get better performance on a mundane PC

@unknown - We're tracking a performance hit in 1.14 for Linux against BDS-2574. You should find that running the same server on Windows provides far better performance on the current version.

As far as multi-threading goes, while BDS will spin up threads for some workloads the main game loop still runs on a single thread. For example below is an example of my server with 3 active players and a huge villager hall (which has a huge CPU impact at the moment). The highlighted core is the main thread.

Because we've already raised poor linux performance with the devs under BDS-2574 I'm going to ask that this be duplicated into that.

@unknown - If you believe you're having issues you will need to open your own report however I would suggest checking your individual cores before doing so. The i7 2700k has a far lower capacity than the i7-8700 shown in my picture and as you can see, with 3 people online and a villager trading hall my main game thread had the core at 30%. I'd expect that at 10-15 hoomans my server would also start lagging and its far more capable than your chip. Your issue is likely more a technical/optimization one rather than a bug.

Did you Just call i7 as powerfull as r9 3950X?

No? Where did I say that?

Edit: Turns out, even if I did, it wouldn't have been as crazy as you're insinuating. See below single core comparison and my previous comments about multi-threading.

Well. you didn't exactly say "as powerfull" you claimed it to be better  "its far more capable than your chip"
As within context of my post, my chip is the Ryzen chip, as within context we are talking about my OP server rig, not my personal gaming rig.

And BDS-2574 seems to align with what I saw with my linux machine.
