how would you increase body decay rate?

hey, having a problem on my pvp server, so many player bodies are amassing it causing frame drop.. anyone know how to increase the rate at which bodies despawn?

I am still learning, but I think it relates to this value in the globals.xml file:

 

<var name="CleanupLifetimeRuined" type="0" value="330"/>

 

I think what this means is things that are on the ground and ruined (which would include the dead) despawn after 5 and a half minutes (i.e. 330 seconds).  So, in theory, lowering this number should clear out things faster.

If I'm wrong about that, someone please correct me.

EDIT: I'm going to correct myself actually.  I just tested this with an infected at least and she still took over 5 minutes to despawn, so perhaps this variable doesn't affect bodies - not sure tbh.

Seems incorrect

I believe there is also a radius around the ruined stuff but I've not looked into it fully so in a PvP server with everyone in one area would also effect cleanup

Just remove them when they are killed. much easier that's what i did.  Also delete the gun when a player is killed.  Much better performance.
