 Your garbage collector can be configured to reduce lag spikes caused by big garbage collector tasks. You can find startup flags optimized for minecraft servers [here](https://mcflags.emc.gs/) [`SOG`]. Keep in mind that this recommendation will not work on alternative jvm implementations.
 
+# Linux cpu scaling 
+Some hosts might ship machines running in "PowerSave" mode. This can result in nearly 25% lower clock speeds and thus vastly lower single threaded performance. This can lead to severly worse performance than setting the cpu scaling to performance mode.
+
+On Debian / Ubuntu running `Cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_governor` will show the cpus performance profile.
+Then running `echo "performance" | sudo tee /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_governor` will set to performance.
