The same here. Since the 3.1.1.1 servers I get pissed cause of the bad performance. And since the release of Steam our XP2000+ in not capable anymore of a fluid gameplay for 2 servers. That's not only bad that's disgusting. Besides the point that 3.1.1.1 does not bring any new enhancements for a server regarding the increase in cpu load. With Steam it just got worse. Not to mention the problems and bugs on the client side. As we are trying new hardware (Barton core Athlons seem to be much better performing with steam servers than Palomino cores) we are giving MoHAA, BF1942 and Tribes2 a shot. They perform much better, are also full most of the time and there are less known problems. For the long run we will decrease the HL Servers, because of the immens cost for new hardware they are needing. Myself I would drop HL completly because of the bad support regarding the performance hit since 3.1.1.1 and valve ignoring the bitching. Any other server is performing better. Some 1/2 some 1/5 of CPU load for the same amount of slots used. Best example is Tribes2, it is real cpu friendly.
If there will be no update in the near future fixing this problem, there will be no CS server anymore hosted by us. It's too expensive.
That's it, flames on Frank
