phpstan 0.12.26 starts reporting errors about the result of array_search() being given to some constructor or another because of the lack of key type specification.
previously nobody except the person who was managing timings would know that timings was running, being pasted or whatever else. Since timings can impact performance (and, for example, block the main thread when writing timings to a file), access to it should be logged so that server owners know what's going on.
this was caused by a bad fix for switching. we can't consider zero-damage attacks as cancelled because zero-damage might have been the result of things like consuming absorption hearts, so the aftereffects need to be processed even when the net damage is zero.
while this is slightly less bandwidth efficient (1 in 92 datagrams not full vs 1 in 733), this is significantly less memory-hard.
I made this decision looking at the memory pressures that 1MB chunks exert - especially on RakNet. Client-side, these resource pack chunks all hang around in RakNet memory until the whole thing is received, and it's a lot more costly to receive 733 datagrams than it is to receive 92, especially since it's much more likely that some of the 733 will disappear along the way.
If, for example, the first couple of hundred KB split parts arrived out of 1MB, and then one of the parts got lost, all the already-received parts would hang around in memory not getting processed. With smaller chunks this is much less of a problem.
I explored taking the chunk size all the way down to 1KB to reduce the bandwidth waste caused by split packets (split headers), but this made resource pack downloading unbearably slow, so it wasn't acceptable.
the old limit was made in the php5 days when performance was far worse and it was much more costly to generate chunks that weren't needed. Now it's significantly less and having a higher limit allows terrain to be sent more quickly in new worlds and to fast-moving players.
This limit really ought to go away completely but considering the technical barriers in the way it'll have to stay for now.
