DayZ Epoch : Need some insight

[btakasper]

I'm running a VDS - 3 core, 3072 MB ram, 300GB hdd - DayZ Epoch server with the SQL database on the same machine. I've had excellent results so far...until i hit 30-35 players. I've seen a few threads already and attempted to change my basic.cfg to help fix the issues with lag, desync, players not being able to join but with no real improvements. I've set it to kick players over 200 ping as i've read that can contribute to desync for other players, among a few other things. Does anyone mind looking at my current basic.cfg and my.ini to help me figure out whats going on? I also plan in the morning to change over to a 5GB SSD to handle the whole database.

I'd appreciate any and all help. I ran a net test while the server was running with 35 people on and even with all the connections i was getting 420 down 220 up. The server is located in Atlanta. When all these players were on i was seeing 40-48% cpu usage. As for disk activity I can't exactly remember.

Scripts running
Server restarts every 3 hours
EVR storms (random, maybe twice every restart)
AI missions - god zone in traders, Ghosts of chernarus map addons, self blood, service points, indestructible bases, 500 object limit for bases, 620 current vehicles on map, dance script, think thats about it, antihack as well

thanks
