HT is p-4 intel only..if you are running AMD you aren't using HT.

From what I've seen, and other can probably comment in more detail,
hyperthreading can lag a server and we've seen many posts to the list
asking about this. I would recommend searching the list archieve.
That being said, your lag can also be caused by the server config itself.
We have serveral servers that support and are running hyperthreading, but
most are AMD processors so I might be way off, but here's what I've seen.
I have several machines that run 18-24 players w/o lag. If I take the
same config and change the maxplayer value to 26-32 people complain of
lag, choke, etc.
So, I would recommend tweaking your config for 32 players (sv_maxrate,
updaterate, tic_rate/tickrate, pingboost, etc.) prior to disabling
hyperthreading support. Feel free to email me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] for info
on DOD:S and DOD server configs or just reply here.
Also, check for our DOD:S threads from about a week ago. A few of us
posted our DOD:S configs and startup options.
Thanks,

Hi
I have had a DoD:S server running on Linux Fedora 3 64 on a dual xeon box
(dell poweredge sc1425) since shortly after the game was released. While
running a default server with 32 slots the server lags out with one of the
virtual cpu's maxing out. It seems to run fine with 24 slots. I read
somewhere that this is caused by the hyperthreading on the box and the only
way to solve this is to turn hyperthreading off.
My question is - is this true? Will I gain a 32 slot (hopefully many more
slots) without the cpu maxing by turning hyperthreading off? Or is there a
way to make the OS do this? Or is there a fix on its way? I dont live close
to the box (amsterdam--london) so a quick bus journey to play with the BIOS
is not really possible.
Any and all help will be highly appreciated! This mailinglist has already
helped me out a lot and I hope it will continue!!
TIA
Nic
