The server rate locked up is not the issue here, as it appears to me. rate has always been default 10000 and was never a problem. I never touched my rate setting before or after this update. So I don't think its a rate issue. After reading forums this morning, it appears to be a CPU usage problem since the last update. CPU usage on everyone's machines has been a whole lot higher since the update. I don't know if this is just a change in source which causes it to be more processor intensive, or if it is a memory leak in srcds. It appears to be an exponential problem though. As in the more people in the server, the more proc power it uses (I know this is always the case, but to a much greater extent now). I tested it, I am able to run 1 40 slot server on my box without the warpage lag. But the second I open up another server, everyone in the 40 slot starts warping. I am currently maxing my box out by running three 28 man servers when, before this update, I could run 6 servers (totalling 250 slots), all full, with no lag what so ever.
Whatever it is, it is a huge problem which needs a fix quickly. I pray that someone at Valve takes the time to read this or the similar posts on the steam forums. I have spent so much time building up a great CS:S community and now it is hurting from this update.
