This has nothing about how accurate the time is... Its more how long time it takes to get information from gettimeofday().
Let say they uses gettimeofday every tick, it will add up to a lot of calls. If the server do 100 calls per second and it takes 10+ms to get answer from gettimeofday it will be a problem on the server. I thought it was using a easier sequence. /Bjorn On Tue, 6 Jun 2006, Stuart Stegall wrote: > None of this matters squat, as hlds/srcds are developed for Microsoft's > x86 Win32 platform and Linux's x86 platform. gettimeofday shouldn't be > THAT much of a problem for hlds/srcds unless you are not running ntpd. > You should be running it on Win32, Linux, or any other production > system.
