Greetings

Well, since I updated my 32 Slot Server from Engine Version 29 to 35,
the CPU usage is 20-30% higher, so that I had to reduce my the Slotcount
to 20, to prevent lag and monsterpings.
Unfortunaly I forgot to make an backup before updating, so it would be
very nice if someone could tell me, where I can get older HLDS Updates.

cheers

Hi Guys,

Since the none compulsory update in March where some changes were made to 
apparently decrease CPU usage we've been noticing degradation in server 
performance.

However unlike a lot of complaints on the mailing list / forums we haven't 
really noticed our average CPU usage go up much - a couple of spikes here and 
there but certainly none of this 'maxing out my server' business that some 
people are encountering.

The performance drop after the non-compulsory update in March ended up in us 
rolling back the update because bullet registry and warping was really poor.  
After rolling back the update everything (bar the in-game VAC secure icon on 
connecting to servers) was perfect again.  However after the compulsory update 
the other day we're having the same problem again (although it doesn't seem 
quite as bad) that's over a month since when the issue was first reported, I 
really hoped that would have been sufficient time for Valve to fix it but this 
doesn't seem to be the case.

From a good browse on the forums there has been plenty of discussion about this matter 
and quite a few people are in a position where they are having to jump ship to Windows 
which is a real shame.  What concerns me the most though is that there is very little 
discussion about it on the mailing list.  What does this mean, that people are noticing 
the issue or that they don't care?  My point is that issues like these are not going to 
get fixed unless enough people start making a fuss (and I don't mean fuss as in 
"OMFG I HATE YOU VALVE!!!111" - etc)

I would be really interested to know how many others have picked up on these 
anomalies, especially on higher tickrate servers since the last compulsory / 
non-compulsory update.

Cheers,
