Just did some testing on a few machines here! Both machines are running Linux 2.5.75, with HZ set to 100. Both of the servers are with sys_ticrate 100.
Each sample was taken every few seconds. I originally did this for several minutes - I have just posted the average readings. No other HLDS were running when these were taken. model name : Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.40GHz bogomips : 4767.74 CPU In Out Uptime Users FPS Players 44.67 52.85 67.47 912 83 90.92 14 45.00 51.42 65.07 912 83 100.47 14 44.60 51.60 64.11 912 83 90.92 14 41.00 52.24 65.36 912 83 100.02 14 42.00 51.67 63.74 912 83 90.74 14 42.67 50.97 63.41 912 83 83.49 14 42.67 51.73 63.90 912 83 90.92 14 43.25 51.10 63.03 912 83 91.12 14 43.80 50.12 61.70 912 83 83.35 14 model name : Intel(R) Pentium(R) III CPU family 1133MHz bogomips : 2252.80 CPU In Out Uptime Users FPS Players 58.00 47.56 53.65 71 75 71.42 14 57.80 48.10 54.54 71 75 99.91 14 55.00 47.51 53.44 71 75 77.22 14 56.00 48.49 55.59 71 75 69.40 14 57.33 50.00 58.25 71 75 78.48 14 58.75 50.90 59.95 71 75 62.32 14 59.20 51.56 60.50 71 75 75.45 14 59.00 49.38 56.36 71 75 68.58 14 58.00 47.68 52.31 71 75 90.97 14 55.25 46.62 51.19 71 75 81.67 14 To sum up the total average CPU usage. The P4 was using : 1008Mhz The p3 was using : 576Mhz I also joined the servers to see the performance ingame - both were about equal.So we've got quite a large usage difference of 432Mhz! Anyone care to shed some light? I have always found our P3s to use less cpu clock for clock against our P4 servers - however not such a great deal - perhaps only 100mhz or so.
