Our 3.0GHz Xeon (Cranford) based box (HT enabled) peaked at about 65% with 3 SCRDS instances (DoD:S, TF2, InsMod) at various stages of load. We also use scrcdsfpsboost and yielded 256 fps max and 140fps min. at the server with a full 24 player TF2. We've never experienced any lag or performance anomalies.
Due to a colo relocation, we're temporarily hosting with a GSP that's strictly Linux and we've seen some sporadic performance issues. After a bunch of tweaking everything has since stabilized, but not nearly as robust as our Win2k3 box above. The map load bug seems to transgress platforms. One note, regardless of fps_max setting on TF2 (regardless of platform) we cannot exceed 300fps.
