see that the query 'SELECT varname, value, unix_timestamp() FROM variables where unix_timestamp(ts) >= timestamp' is called every 10 seconds. This function is loading
variables that are initially loaded on World and Zone bootup. When running a large amount of zone servers, the amount of MySQL chatter that is produced is enormous and
unnecessary. For example, if I ran 400 zone servers, I would see 3,456,000 unnecessary queries from all idle or active zone processes in a 24 hour interval.
