EDIT - The title wont let me put in double "||" so i replaced it with "OR".

Well, If any of you understand anything about programming, you will be any to understand the above statement... Is 32 Bit Lag greater than 64 bit lag? (As in 32 bit lag is better.) or Is 64 Bit Lag greater than 32 bit lag? (As in 64 bit lag is better.)

This past week I had recently lost my Revelation (Dread) to nothing but lag. There was a 300 man fleet battle in a low sec system near Fountain called Fobiner. (http://blade-alliance.com/killboard/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=13455) I could not load anything during this battle, my EVE kept crashing and was tackled the whole time and could not do anything. I.E. Move, Target, Activate Mods, etc. I was out of siege mode btw. The que got so overloaded in my cache, it stopped deleting. This was the worst lag I have ever seen. At this point, I am afraid to fight in another revelation, due to the possibility of dieing to lag. EPIC LAG. I wouldn't mind going out to a couple hundred battleships if I was lagged and could do anything.

At this point, I realized that CCP had upgraded all of EVE's nodes to use 64 bit stackless I/Os. Think of it too, there were only 300 people in this fight. Yet Jita has been able to expand from 800 people to 1400 people. This makes me wonder, what didn't CCP do? Or what didn't I do? Frankly, I have been playing in large battles up in MAX and didn't have lag this bad. Also, up there there were thousands vrs thousands involved in fleet battles and minimal lag. So, did CCP skimp?

Skimping on upgrades can be fatel. FFS! If 64 bit I/O was installed in all of EVE, this lag would rarely happen and would usually be caused by a drone exploit or a human error involving the code after a patch. So, this leaves me to beleive that Pandemic Legion has been using a drone exploit, or has CCP skimp on upgrading all of the nodes?

Come forward CCP or Pandemic Legion. Someone has some questions to answer.
