Remove pingboost and you'll find CPU usage is much much better. And that 10ms lower ping really makes no practical difference. However, the increased CPU usage with 3.1.1.1 is a very real thing. An increase in CPU usage means the same hardware can't do as much as it did previously - which essentially means increased costs for those companies running large numbers of servers, and nobody likes increased costs. The worst thing is, we don't seem to be getting anything new or improved in return for the increased CPU usage. 3.1.1.1 is just bug fixes - how it manages to use more CPU is a mystery to me. -Simon _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
