Up to at least 4 cores, it can increase performance of an OT server that is also used for SQL, and webserver, remote protocol, file transfer protocol.
Things that cause lag:
Abnormal low ram. (RL map with 1GB RAM).
Abnormal weak processor.
Spiky or shared Internet connection. <--- Very common.
Unstable scripts, lots of console errors displayed that is not taken care of. <--- Very common.
Slow OS or OS not suitable for server hosting. <--- Also common.
Order of OS
(1. Very fast <------ || ------> 7. Very Slow)
General Linux = Very stable.
1. Linux console based (Very fast).
2. Linux with GUI (More user friendly, not better than console based, but still better than Windows).
General Windows = Not stable.
3. Windows SE 2003 (Fastest windows candidate).
4. Windows XP (Better than Se08 or Vista based).
5. Windows SE 2008 (Works good compared to Vista, more expensive though).
6. Windows 7 (Better candidate than Vista, worse than XP or SE08).
7. Windows Vista (Not created for servers, never will be, so don't use it for that purpose either).
Fast processor and RAM will give you faster server save.
Multiple cores? Will help a little, not much, but you can do:
Core 1 = server (theforgottenserver.exe)
core 2 = Apache (httpd.exe)
Core 3 = MySQL (mysql.exe?)
Core 4 = FTP/RDP (Remoting programs in case of remote desktop, FTP like filezilla server).
If you have different hard disks, (for an example 2 hard disks at 7200rpm)
hard disk 1 = OS + windows TEMP folder.
Hard disk 2 = server
Note, a partition is not a hard disk! So you should open your computer and see if you actually have 2 hard disks and not only 2 partitions.
(Partitions = splitted hard disk(s) into several virtual disks).
If you got an SSD disk, try to run both server (.exe) and MySQL on it. For faster performance.
As I mentioned, a server with lag often comes with a person who dosn't know how to use a computer in an effective way.
