The lag is due especially at the speed of the disk which are in g�n�rals in IDE into 5400trs/min and in SCSI in 10000trs/min. For the CPU, if the DMA are actived, the CPU usage for the hard disk is very low (look this =)) bye _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
