help, it lags horribly!

Try enabling performance mode with gibmod_perfmode 1

This will decrease a lot of the more resource-intensive settings GibMod uses, such as the amount of gibs and effects, by multiplying them by gibmod_perffactor. The effects won't look as elaborate, but you should get better performance.

In multiplayer, the biggest bottleneck is usually bandwidth.
Decreasing the number of gibs helps, but ultimately what will prevail is a better internet connection for the server.
