Prior to this update our 95th CPU usage on was 39% on cp_orange_x3_t, since the update this has jumped to 108%, maps seem to be affected to a different degree to all are seeing an very large increase. These figures are normalised for a single core on an Intel L5520 so not a slow machine by any means. Here's a few stats graphs which make it very clear: http://www.multiplaygameservers.com/dropzone/12609_week-cpu-jump.png http://www.multiplaygameservers.com/dropzone/13295_week-cpu-jump.png This is not a sustainable change, so I hope we can get a fix for this ASAP.
