ALL of these jobs will slow the server down significantly at the mentioned times. The reason for the slowdown is the heavy database activity.
- A backup takes some time while the server is online as backups are literally, backing up data.
- A new day will slow you down temporarily because the server needs some time to calculate things and let old user accounts expire (also, think about how many other players are online at the new day).
If the reason for the server being slow for you is not mentioned above, please petition. If it is, all is working as it should.
