Server lag
I've hosted several MC servers over the past few years for myself and two other people. Create A&B, Better MC; and currently ATM8. All of them had off and on issues with lag, but ATM8 has been pretty bad.
All of the servers were in an LXC container on a server with a Xeon E5-2687. Simulation and view distance is currently only 6 chunks; but the server still lags so badly at times to time people out and disconnect them.
I have installed sparks; but I can't see any one thing being the issue. https://spark.lucko.me/1AfNaHa8qY

don't share an open profiler link, and dont share a profiler thats only ran 10 seconds
we cant view it after sometime
share a longer profiler (i'd recommend atleast 3min)
and large forgepacks are laggy. its just how they are... you can't prevent that. all you can try and do is minimize it by getting the best cpu, and adding performance mods like canary.
you're basically begging modded minecraft to lag with that cpu. its shit
Here's a much longer; closed run. https://spark.lucko.me/1NrnpZfAhK

I don't know that I can upgrade; but what makes a good CPU for minecraft?
You want a CPU with a very good singlethread.
GHz doesnt matter. It’s single thread you want.
This is because Minecraft is primarily singlethreaded.
Your current CPU is very poor in terms of singlethreaded performance

You are not lagging at all in this profiler however Cataclysm is using a lot of your thread
The profiler was running when no players were online; although I did notice Cataclysm on my earlier profiler as well. I'm guessing you can't tell me any better what exactly is lagging in Cataclysm.
Unfortunately not. If possible, run the profiler for a decent length of time during lag
