Generally the higher the FPS of the server the better performance you get ingame. Lower more stable pings, and the infamous "bullet reg" tends to improve. >So how does a windows 1.6 server compare to a linux/bsdone? Here are some stats from a single 2.4 - with nothing else running, and with sys_ticrate 100. Slackware 8.2 with 2.5.75 kernel.

Once ticrate is pushed to 1000 this rises to 35-50% which is understandable. I would appreciate feedback as to the benefits of increasing ticrate are for the client, and is it that significant? I'm also assuming that the 8 player server is using very little cpu ;-) Now I'm sure the numbers are around here somewhere, but being on my webmail client I cant get to them, so how does a windows 1.6 server compare to a linux/bsd one?
