That's nice information, and thank you for sending it. But I don't know how relevant it is in this situation. My 6 servers (250 slots) were running fine prior to the update. Now I can't run any servers over 28 slots with out the warpage lag. The CPU usage is much much higher since the last update, indicating that there is either a leak in srcds or they changed the game so drastically that it actually upped the minimum requirements of the game two fold. Either way, its a large problem, and I don't think the 65mhz rule of thumb works anymore. The CPU usage increases exponentially as the number of players in the servers goes past 28 people. This is the issue at hand, and your response doesn't address this issue Dexion.
