You would be right but for me it did fix the high CPU spike I was seeing. I have an 8 core system and did let windows assign the affinity. everything was nice and level as for CPU usage prior the the update. After the update just one single instance or srcds would spike to as much as 85% (of all 8 cores) after assigning srcds just 2 cores (with 2 servers per core) I never noticed the cpu usage go above 10%, 15% or 18% with no more network time out's. It possible the windows version of srcds has some type of issue with multithreading maybe it's something that only shows up with you have 8 or more cores idk....
