Actually it doesn't sound too far off the mark We are all familiar with how HLDS does not handle player numbers above the 20 player mark very well as it is, and with DeathMatch being what it is, having large amounts of people all doing things at the same time constantly is going to lag even the most high end server hardware.
We run 4 CS 1.6 DeathMatch Servers and we can manage 4 of them on a Dual 3.0GHz Xeon with 2GB of RAM but they are only 16 14 16 & 18 player servers respectively and when they are all full things do get a bit iffy.
