Seeking guidance on poor server performance
I am in the process of trying to spin up a Skyfactory 4 server using the server files that can be downloaded from Curseforge. I've got the server running just on localhost for now, but when I connect with my own game client, the performance is pretty atrocious. I can't fly my character around in creative without rubber-banding and the server's console gets spammed with the following message:
"Can't keep up! Did the system time change, or is the server overloaded? Running xxxx ms behind, skipping xx tick(s)"
I'm running the server on a Windows bootcamped Mac Mini (LOL) that has an Intel Core i7-8700B CPU clocked at 3.2GHz with 64gb of DDR4 memory. I've dedicated 12gb of memory to the server.
In my eyes, it shouldn't be a hardware issue as I'm running both the server and client on the same machine for testing purposes, and Windows resource monitor is only reporting a 30-45% average load on the CPU. I'll admit, though, that I don't have a lot of experience hosting Minecraft servers, much less modded ones.
Any insight into my issue would be fantastic, and I'm happy to provide anything else that may aid in troubleshooting.

low load doesnt say much as mc is primarily singlethreaded
!spark
Spark Profiler
Spark can be used to see why your server or client is lagging.
Users can share a spark report via
/spark profiler start --timeout 300 which creates a report after 5 minutes. The spark report is useful in debugging why your server is lagging, so ideally you should always provide one while asking for support.

download and use spark
On it, thank you!
I can't get spark to load even after verifying that I've got the correct version for the Forge release. I've been trying to resolve this for too long, I give up lol.
