ouch! so the nix version is using approx 10 MORE% cpu with 25% FEWER players compared to the win32. Thats not such a good advertisement for the linux port on intel hardware. You dont perchance happen to have an AMD based machine to perform the same testing on? I do, but am lacking the pipe to test with.
Alfred: All the testing machines you have listed are AMD based, or older intel base. Given that all these architectures are more efficient per clock cycle is HLDS really emphasising the calc per clock cycle disparity between intel/amd cpus? Is there any oppurtunity for Valve testing on an Intel machine? I may be able to organise the loan of a current spec machine if you are still based in Aus.
