Our results show threads 1 produces slightly lower load than threads 3
but that may be a sudo effect. The figures for those interested show:-
threads 3 cpu usage is 52% with an stdev or 15% resulting in 95th pctl of 67%
threads 1 cpu usage is 48% with an stdev of 15% resulting in 95th pctl of 62%
Both measured using over 1,700 samples at 24 players on 2fort of a L5520

Subject: Re: [hlds] Massive TF2 server cpu hike caused by 2010-07-20 update/
-threads results part 1
Have you been able to complete your analysis with this Steven? I have had my
GSP add "-threads 1" to the command start up line and things seem to be
weird. Since adding this I have noticed that my server fps (according to net
graph 4) is always at 30. Previous to this command my server fps would
fluctuate wildly between 64 and 512. Before this TF2 update my fps would
fluctuate between 400 & 512 but never ever drop below 400.
Since I dont host my own server (due to lack of upload bandwidth) I cant be
certain if this is an issue with my GSP or with the game itself. It seemed
to coincide with everyone else having issues.

The results for Windows are in and using both -threads 1 and -threads 3
has produced a definite improvement see the following graphs:-

I've now switched one of our popular 2fort servers to -threads 3 from
-threads 2 so we can verify which is better threads 1 or threads 3 as
comparing two different maps cant confirm that.
Our Linux results unfortunately have been invalidated by a change in
measurement method, so can't comment there :(
