You may well have lower CPU usage with 2.4.9 - however 2% cpu usage for a 16 player server is simply INCORRECT. There is no point debating this fact! 2% is laughable. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of James Couzens Sent: 19 September 2003 18:16 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] Crazy Usage James, > YOUR CPU USAGE IS INCORRECT. > It is NOT POSSIBLE to have a FULL 16 PLAYER SERVER RUNNING AT 2% CPU > USAGE. > (Assuming you don't have a new Intel prototype server running at 40ghz) NO ITS NOT.
