hlds_l and srcds do not support multithreading, nor does FreeBSD handle dual processors on behalf of the Half-Life processes. Also, as Steven commented, there is no way to specify which CPU a process will run on. As a result, all processing would always take place on CPU-0.

Well, for multiple game server instances dual CPUs WILL help you, right? Some of the server processes will execute on CPU-0, and others on cpu-1... -Justin > Thanks for clearing this up...
