Queue Speed

I've looked around and can't find a clear explination on this..

I'm running a bot that is on a several channels.. A couple that are pretty big..

I'm almost positive that I can send from my queue faster then it is doing now.. But every effort I've tried to speed it up, it does nothing..

At first I tried adjusting:
set flood-msg
set flood-ctcp

But this seems to do nothing.. First, what are these for then? Is this incoming or outgoing?

Then I hear of the penalty option which seems to not be in the offical config file. As I understand, when on, if it detects if the bot flooded out, it adjusts this value so it doesn't flood next time.. Is there a way to adjust this manually?

Again, all I'm wanting to do is speed up the sending of the queues a little more so it's closer to the ircd's flood limit..

set flood-msg
set flood-ctcp

These are bot specific settings that help protect the bot from being flooded (overloaded/DoS'd) with more traffic then it can handle

All settings are documented in the official documentation. IE "set use-penalties", "set flood-msg" and "set flood-ctcp" settings are part of the server module and are documented in the mod-server part of the documentation.

Which queues are you talking about? msg queues? You can pragmatically use a different (higher priority) queue (putquick, putserv and puthelp), but a setting to change the default behaviour I don't know of.

I suggest not to think of the config file that comes with the source as an expansive example with all settings, but more of a basic general example that most people need to setup a bot to begin with, because it does not provide examples of all settings.
