- **Partial Asynchronous Processing** Partially offloads some heavy work to other threads where possible without sacrificing stability
- **8x Faster Map Rendering** Reduces or eliminates lag spikes caused by plugins like ImageOnMap or ImageMaps
- **30% faster hoppers** over Paper (Airplane)
- **Reduced GC times & frequency** from removing useless allocations, which also improves CPU performance (Airplane)
- **Fast raytracing** which improves performance of any entity which utilizes line of sight, mainly Villagers (Airplane)
- **Built-in profiler** which has 0 performance hit and easy to read metrics for both server owners and developers (Airplane)
- Faster crafting, reduction in uselessly loaded chunks, faster entity ticking, faster block ticking, faster bat spawning, and more!

- And more coming soon...
