Higher FPS on US servers?

[Tobes95 7]

So I've been playing DayZ on UK servers until earlier when I tried a US server as it was night-time on the UK ones and I couldn't see anything, and until then I'd been getting 15-20 fps with frequent drops to less than 10. On the US server this nearly doubled, getting a constant 25-30fps without drops so it was a much more playable experience. It could just be coincidental but it seems weird that a US server would work far better when I live in the UK. I'm playing with all low or very low (some disabled) settings at 1440x900 resolution.

My setup is:

Intel Core 2 Duo E6550 @2.33Ghz

Nvidia Geforce 8800GT

4GB RAM

I know it's not very good but does anyone know why US servers would give me a higher fps or has anyone else experienced this? I tried the RAMDisk thing and it didn't seem to help much.

Depends on the rig that the host of the server is using.

I've had good experiences on servers like UK 7 and UK33. Try some LU servers too.
