Heightmaps , oah the nightmare of tons of data on a text file for a server to sift through. Have you considered breaking the maps up into equal sized quadrants and having another server precache the zones? Then loading them when active? I've seen alot of success loading zones as active once a player is in a 4x4 radius also should take in the consideration the speed of vehicles and increasing that radius. Having another server specifically tuned to load those zones or a new thread in the current engine is your best option. Attempting to toss it on the current engine without having it run on its own is going to take server load to the max.
