There are two things I can assure you of:

1. Carrion Fields doesn't run slowly

2. Mudmagic works on CF just fine

So, given those two things, it's got to be something local on your system. Unfortunately I don't use Mudmagic with any regularity at all, so I can't really help you troubleshoot it. Maybe one of our other players can? Either that or get ahold of the Mudmagic people.

My other thought is a router problem between you and CF, and nothing to do with Mudmagic itself. Maybe if you posted a tracert from you to CF here, someone with a bit more know-how then I could give you some ideas. Have you tried downloading another client, like wintin? Does zmud still do free trials? One of those might be good.

Hope that helps!
