/gamerule maxEntityCramming not working

[karomi]

I have a SMP server, and it seems like any mob grinder is not spawning as many mobs as it should. I tried setting the maxEntityCramming to 500, and it seems like only 20-50 actual mobs spawn in the farm (Checked using the E counter in F3). I also tried setting it to 0, and the same thing happened. Any help?

I don't believe maxEntityCramming has anything to do with how many mobs spawn in a particular chunk but rather how many can stack up into a crowded 1x1 location. Don't quote me on this though, I could be wrong.
