MC-2767Mob cap abnormally low on SMP
Recently we've noticed a severe drop in the mobs that are spawning across our server, I personally frequently see it at 4-5 entites around, when I know that there are dark caves within range that should have spawned monsters. The highest I've seen it since the update was at 20, which was while I was lighting up caves.
Another player reports that he frequently sees entity counts of 1, even while standing at a previously functional mob farm, which has not been modified.
EDIT: This is linked to a change in view distance setting by the server, which means this bug is a duplicate of this

Mob cap abnormally low on SMP
Recently we've noticed a severe drop in the mobs that are spawning across our server, I personally frequently see it at 4-5 entites around, when I know that there are dark caves within range that should have spawned monsters. The highest I've seen it since the update was at 20, which was while I was lighting up caves.

I believe it may have a link to another problem we're having with a memory leak (Bug report submitted here https://mojang.atlassian.net/browse/MC-1125) as it may be possible that the server is calculating mob spawning across active players, and ghosts of players (which is our theory as to why there is a memory leak)
So, theory on this problem; server is calculating the mob cap is X because of the online active players, but is trying to spread them them across x*5 because we've all logged in and out five times.
This theory may be completely wrong, but may provide an insight.I had a search before, and no bug turned up like ours, so apologies if this has been resolved already.

apologies, this is actually linked to this problem. https://mojang.atlassian.net/browse/MC-2536
Found out after talking to our server host that he changed view distance, right when we started having this problem.
