Your max/min rate is WAY too low. On my Source servers we move around 20-23kB/s PER CLIENT - your settings limit that to 9kB/s per client max so they'll be choking to death.
Try: sv_minrate 9999 (I prefer this, but if you have 56k players set sv_minrate 5000) sv_maxrate 30000 fps_max 500 sv_minupdaterate 30 sv_maxupdate rate should match your tick + 1, so for 66 tick use sv_maxupdaterate 67. tick 66 will give better hit registration but 33 will use less CPU. I'd recommend tick 66 and the rates I gave above. As a general rule - I have _never_ run more than 2 servers per CPU. Right now I'm running 2x 18 players per AMD64 3200. So if you're running a dual Xeon I wouldn't go for more than 2x servers per cpu (if they're powerful enough). Looking at my MRTG graphs, our CPU load hasn't changed on the source servers in the last 4 months so I don't think it's an update related problem you're seeing. AMD does tend to perform better in my experience with game servers. Try the settings above and see how you get on.
