Correct, I was one of the folks discussing this in the last round of messages
and we run on Linux.
Since my last message about having disabled replays I still get occasional
hiccups in a full server, but nowhere near as bad as before, owing to the lack
of replay overhead.
I'd be happy to run diagnostics if they were available for Linux, but alas
that's not the case.

Subject: Re: [hlds] TF2 server performance spikes
You are only accepting traces for windows servers correct? Some of the people
that have complained are running linux. I have the issue myself on two
independent servers. We get this new game studder after upgrading, leaving
everything else the same.

I do have a theory about the cause of the CPU spikes. I’ll release a build
with the next mandatory update (which will probably be this afternoon) that I
think could address the problem. But since we are not reproducing the problem
here, this is just a theory, not disciplined engineering.
