I don't know what you mean by "too much" and "to avoid spikes"
If you have windows vista/7, you only need to lower MTU while loading into a channel, anytime after that return it to 1500, and you'll have the effects of MTU at 48, with no side effects because you returned to 1500...

Lol AOL? it's been ages since I remember getting those AOL disks they used to send in the mail every month... still have a stack of them...
Aol was very slow and unreliable, from what I've heard about it...

A little script I wrote back when I played mabi a lot... Makes it easier IMO

Wow, this is nice... includes a prompt for easier customizing...
That's above my knowledge to write... but I can understand it at least xD
Just a note, if you're telling people to use that, you might want to add a line for "Wireless Network Connection" as well, because WiFi is getting a lot more popular these days. I for one use wifi, and not wired, so your script would have done nothing for me, despite being nicely written ^^;
Also, this script is optimal for compatibility, but to make it safer for average users, on Vista/7, you'd probably want to set it as "active" instead of "persistent" so any issues with MTU could be remedied with a reboot.

I don't know if you just misunderstood me or something, but Mabiwiki suggests 368 for WinXP and anything before Vista, because they couldn't handle dynamic MTU editing. 368 allows for most of the benefits of reduced MTU, with less loading time sacrificed for it.
On the other hand, Win Vista/7 can change MTU at any time. This means you load the lowest possible MTU, (I chose 48, instead of 40, to be safe), connect to the world, and after the loading bar is done, immediately change back to the highest/default, which gets rid of the side effects of slow pet loading, or slow npcs.
As for 48 vs 368, theres a tiny difference, and it's only practical with Vista/7. If you have Vista/7, it doesn't matter how much it slows you down, since it'll only last ~5 seconds as the world loads and then you can change it back and continue normal play.

Not sure if it was the MTU or Mabinogi is being amazingly fast today.
If you set it to 1500, and it went faster, I don't know how that's possible, unless you were lucky enough to just get an hour or so of amazing connection... o.O
