-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] I'm just using Task Manager and it's showing actual CPU usage, not average. I watch the Task Manager and the server's console FPS very carefully when the server is full. The CPU load very rarely reaches 100% but like I said most of the time (43 minutes out of the 45 minute map) it's at around 80%.
What you said about the queue slowing down at 80% makes sense because yes the CPU will be hotter and heat slows things down. The theory seems correct but I don't know if it's completely true in this case. Anyone? Thanks for the reply, helped me get my head out of the numbers.
