It's not strictly based on srcds as it is the fact that it's an online
FPS and the necessarily direct conclusions that you can jump to based on
that fact alone, as has been explained very thoroughly and in-depth by
Alfred in the past, including addressing HL itself.
Is there any other online FPS server that has native SMP support and
sees a substantial performance gain as a result, under any conditions?
I don't know of any, and I'm guessing it's not just laziness on the part
of developers... I mean, bear in mind that since they built the source
engine is more or less from scratch, don't you think they could've built
in SMP support if they really thought it would be helpful? Hell, that'd
be marketing pizzazz right there.
