Affinity Issue
First off so people are aware the current server will only work on the first
core of any multi core machines. I'm assuming this is
due to the server threads having affinity set on them but this obviously causes
major issues on multi CPU / Core machines. I've
dropped Valve a mail about this, so I hope they can make a fix available
quickly.
In the mean time those who are running servers on SMP machines should
significantly reduce the number of servers on their machines
to ensure that the first core is not overloaded and hence seriously impacting
gameplay.
Memory leak
Seems the current server has a bit of a memory leak which can be seen below.
Team Fortress 2 - Performance @ 2.66Ghz Core2
As you can see memory ( the orange line ) is constantly rising as play
continues. This is not the same on a server which doesn't
have players so its either a play based leak or a player join / leave based
leak.
CPU Usage
With respect to performance TF2's current CPU usage is on the high side with a
24 player TF2 using about the same as a 32 player
ET:QW server so it would be nice to see if some optimisation can be done to
bring this down an so keep the cost down.
Network performance
Network performance is good as usual with 105 player slots peaking @ 5Mbps so
each client using ~ 47Kbps.
Team Fortress 2 - Bandwidth peak = 105 Player slots
