I have noticed a decrease in performance, too. I'm running 32 slot server on X3350 quad-core xeon. Previously I had about 30-40% peak cpu usage for one core, now its about 50-70%. The server fps tends to drop to 40 sometimes... *clap*clap* Quoting Nephyrin Zey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > You can start a vanilla server with +maxplayers 32 and it will run. > Valve IS one step away from naming the custom tab 'unsupported servers > we hate', but that's besides the point.
