Yes, your estimates seem very good. If others agree it would probably
be a good idea to document all this somewhere and update the signs and
so on in the game and maps.
Oh, and I wanted to add to that that when a server goes down, another
server could take over its load, but states of maps and players on the
server would be lost. They could send each other "alive" packets, and
when a server has not replied for a while consider it dead and either

Thread creation and destruction is cheap. If it is to be done it might
as well be done properly. With one map loading thread the serv
This is an idea I had for a while now, but never had time to
implement. If someone has some spare time and wants something to code
something for CF they can try this.
When the server comes across maps containing large amounts of items it
