Is this a multi CPU / multi core machine? If so I suspect your not understanding the way taskmaanger displays usage and hence one of the cores / cpu's is in fact maxed out which would explain your lag.

I have been spending allot of time trying to figure out a problem so far I haven't been able to find a solution. The problem is when bots are added to a 100 tick cs:source server it starts to lag and players complain about in game performance. The server rates are set correctly for 100 tick. This is not a cpu/memory load issue and not any network ping related issue. I also have moved this to a brand new server box with the same symptoms. Is there some issue with adding bots to 100 tick servers (10 to 15 or so bots) that causes performance issues for the connected players in the game ?
