Try editing some of both MapManager's and AnimatedFrames' config options. (MapManager: checkDuplicates, cacheData, sender.delay, sender.amount)
I went through a lot of versions optimizing the performance of this plugin and it's currently at a point where it performs reasonable without breaking stuff. Due to the animation, it has to cache every single frame of every single section of the frame which (obviously) isn't too resource friendly.

(You are also the first one to complain about performance since 20+ updates)

In case this is something major for just your server, please post your server's timings.

Thank's for your awnser. I'll see config to try to reduce these problems. It's really strange, because I didn't had these problems with others plugins.

Here is the load since our discussion : http://prntscr.com/bj3q41

Do you want I to paste MapManager and AF configs here ?

from animatedframes.

Animated Frames :
Make sure all animations are started at the same time on startup (useful if you usethe same image on multiple frames)
synchronizedStart: false

This is a (slightly hacky) fix for images which Java interpretes as the wrong image type
You should enable this if you get this error when creating a image: http://paste.inventivetalent.org/nokomiquri
fixImageTypes: false

delete:

removed: "&aFrame removed."
error:
notFound: "&cFrame not found"

MapManager :

If vanilla maps should be allowed to be sent to the players (less efficient, since we need to check the id of every sent map)
allowVanilla: false

If the plugin checks for duplicate images before creating a new one (Less efficient when first creating a image, but more efficient overall)
checkDuplicates: true

Cache the packet data in the image object (less CPU intensive for a lot of players, but probably a bit more memory intensive depending on the image size)
cacheData: true

sender:

Delay between map packets (ticks)

delay: 2

Maximum amount of map packets sent at once

amount: 10

Allow immediate sending of map data

allowQueueBypass: true

Enable this if you are using PaperSpigot (and/or you get this error: http://paste.inventivetalent.org/damuhonebu)
paperSpigot: false

Looks like a similar performance I usually get. As I said, the plugin can be quite resource intensive, but it also used to be way worse and even crashed some servers completely.

from animatedframes.

Do you've got any ideas to make it less resourceful in a future update ?

from animatedframes.

I do. But that would involve completely re-writing both MapManager and AnimatedFrames, and that's currently something I'm not going to do any time soon, since I already did that for AnimatedFrames recently.
