We found L4D2 (with this new clock optimisation) used less CPU than
L4D1 (without it).
However, currently TF2 servers are using greater CPU than it used to
REGARDLESS OF THIS SETTING.
Note that the only downside of leaving this at default (ie not set) is
that the server will take a few seconds longer to start up. Setting it
to an explicit number just means you have to differ your scripts for
every box, and remember to change them when if your CPU changes.

I will take a look at rewrite all start scripts then, ill guess its
would
be suffient to execute "export RDTSC_FREQUENCY=2400.00000" once
when the
server-machine is started.
And running the srcds at "fps_max 0" or 1000 is reducing the
cpu-usage then
server is empty, but it not optimal for our server settings.

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.

I do hope its possible to find the problem.
