Well, status here is that serverside FPS is quite ok without pingboost for ticrate < 150, with -pingboost 2 for ticrate < 400 and unstable with any other combo. But well, that's the HLDS.
Distro doesn't seem to matter, only Ubuntu shows somewhat unstable FPS with any combo. Also Ubuntu 5.10/6.06 and Debian testing show a somewhat high system CPU usage (could be measurement, but don't think so since the info comes directly from /proc), Glibc is 2.3.5 / 2.3.6, with NPTL. Debian stable or any Gentoo doesn't show higher system cpu usage. That system CPU usage thingy could also not be related to the HLDS update though, since I haven't watched it before the update. Haven't seem weird CPU numbers during the testing, but have seen problems in the wild with 1 Gentoo box (Glibc 2.3.4 w/ NPTL) going crazy with any form of pingboost and have seen some weird issues with a hldm server on various boxes (Gentoo 2004.3/2005.0 and Ubuntu 5.10) Conclusion: I have no idea where the problem is and what's causing it. Also what "the problem" is, is still somewhat vague. Some people just see more unstable FPS, some people see higher CPU usage numbers, and some people just see laggy servers. Because of that I would really like to know what changed in the last HLDS update regarding timing/pingboost, if something changed, that could clear up things a bit. -- Mike Noordermeer [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
