You need to set this in your environment before you launch the game

export RDTSC_FREQUENCY=2400.00000
./srcds_run -game tf ....

This will bypass the benchmark. But each machine may be different. This is 
benchmark is part of the real time clock optimization that we had added into 
the L4D dedicated server.

Subject: [hlds_linux] This new Benchmark - how to set and recommendations would 
be nice.

Ive just had some time to read the logs to find the RDTSC_FREQUENCY and 
it was rather easy.

[code]
/HLDS installation up to date
Running a benchmark to measure system clock frequency...
Finished RDTSC test. To prevent the startup delay from this benchmark, 
set the environment variable RDTSC_FREQUENCY to 2400.000000 on this 
system. This value is dependent upon the CPU clock speed and 
architecture and should be determined separately for each server. The 
use of this mechanism for timing can be disabled by setting 
RDTSC_FREQUENCY to 'disabled'.
Using breakpad minidump system/
[/code]

In this case should I add this to server.cfg or ?
[code]
/RDTSC_FREQUENCY 2400.000000/
[/code]

But how is the recommendations to make the servers to use the cpu:usage 
as before the update ?

It would be nice to hear some info from the dev.team or someone close :)

Ps. my previus post

/We have machines with both Debian and Fedora srcds-servers running and 
all is showing high spu usage.
Its both TF2 and DoD:S running on them and we monitor all with munin.

This is a pic from a debian 64-bit server with 4 cores Xeon running 2 
dods servers.

uname -a: Linux-2.6.33.5-rt23-ub-100hz #1 SMP PREEMPT RT Wed Jul 14

This is a pic from a Fedora server running 1 dods + 2 TF2 servers on 4 
cores.

I do hope its possible to find the problem.
