Hi, Here's what 'stats' gives me. No players so this is probably useless :-) CPU In Out Uptime Users FPS Players 12.67 0.00 0.00 114 2 49.80 0
I'm not sure what FPS should be, so please tell me if it's OK :-) As I said, it isn't a hardware problem (I have totally eliminated this through my own debugging), so could you go into detail about pingbooster? What is best? Or do you have any URLs with info about it? I won't be fiddling with the kernel since i'm a few thousand miles away from the boxes in question, and the guy with the servers isn't up to recovering from a broken kernel. Has anyone else had this problem and found that a software-based solution?
