That's what I've been thinking, since the P4 has it's FPU rather castrated anything not optimised with SSE2 optimisations, i.e. the hlds_l, will give you a massive hit on the processor.

Hi Drew,
I have had the same problems running more than 2 or 3 hlds serveres on Intel CPU?s.
I have testet following HArdware/Software.
Intel Server board. Intel Pentium 4. 2.8(exeon) Intel Server NIC 10/100 Kingston 1GB DDR 2700 mem. Raid ide133 7200 rpms
With the old cs 1.3 or erlier there was no problem running 6 x 12 slots with adminmod,metamod,statsme and other plugins like spawn protection, restrictions. Today with steam cs 1.6 i can only run 4 serveres and its with out pingboost 1,2,3 and its with out 1000mhz linux kernl. All i get out off steam cs 1.6 on the linux server side with the intel binarys are 4 x 12 slots without pingboost 1,2,3 is a hlds steam server with constant 50 fps server side and a higher ping than the old cs 1.3, 1.4, 1.5 versions.. but the ping are stabel and the server are bug free if your ask some high aimers. But the CPU usages are way to high, i cant even fit a extra test server in there are not in use.
This set up is using debian, i have testet, suse,redhat,win2k and found out that Debian are running best, its use less cpu usages and drivers than suse and rh.
I have another server 100% same hardware speecs.
This is where its beginng to get fun: Intel Server board. Intel Pentium 4. 2.8(exeon) Intel Server NIC 10/100 Kingston 1GB DDR 2700 mem. Raid ide133 7200 rpms
Debian and Redhat 9.0 testet on this system with 1000mhz kernl update.
Now i can only run 2 serveres and i use like 60-70% cpu usages. but i get 700-1000 fps server side and the ping are 20-30(10-20 without pingboost 1) lower than the non 1000mhz kernl. and when i test with a extra servere on the system all servers goes crazy, all pings are spiking but and no its not the server setup. i can follow the respons time on the nic and there are no problem.
As i can see the intel binaries from valve need a p4/p4(exeon)/p4 dual optimise ASAP.
This is the most wierd part, i can run the same amount of servers on a amd 2.4 1gb desktop board form a noname manufacture and a ide 66 hdd 7200 rpms.
The Amd computer is a old desktop with a amd 2.4ghz 1gb ram, desktop motherboard, ide66 7200 rpms, Debian and redhat. and i get less cpu usages then on the 1000mhz linux kernl intel server installed system even that the amd system also use 1000mhz kernl.
I cant say i higher, VALVE NEEDS TO OPTIMISE THE Intel Binaries both for Dual/Quad installations and the Pentium 4 cpu class and the Pentium Exeon Class.
Best Regards Chris

Well, if he is on a FreeBSD system. CPU-usag will never show.. Or he have only turned it off...
I think you are the fool, that believes that he believes that the CPU-usage is 0.

I suppose you believe the Ping Times when you +showscores

Cant hold me down. My server
an hold up to 32 players no problem.
However I actually play on my server and dislike CS when over 14 people are playing. It gets to much like an Unreal advent
after 14
players.
