Can you give a try to a Profiler on server?
You will see that MOST of the overflows are really caused by NPC *even* when 
there is no player near. So I bet on optimizing first that.

I don't really get the idea you are talking about using a function instead 
of a integer for turns. May you detail it a bit with an example?
