-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] OK, installed hotsanic for an overall steady picture, and other than when it generates all of the graphs the system load never goes above 0.8.
CPU never even reaches 70% (one core - the other is effectively 100% idle) Swap is never used And yes, my kernel was correctly compiled at 1000Hz Any further suggestions as to why the FPS will not remain above 100??

Install at least the modules traffic, system and netstat. Also follow this tutorial for a good kernel: http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=486424 Most important stuff is the 1000 Hz patch and the scheduler settings. After you have a well configured kernel, don't use taskset or anything to force the processes to a specific CPU, the scheduler will do for you very well.

Now why the hell does a server drop from 333fps to as low as 10fps? What causes this? The CPU usage gets no higher than 60% (one core for the process - other is at 1-5% if the other server is empty), but the drops can happen at 60% or anywhere below, so the CPU usage seems to have no bearing on this. The memory usage does not change - I have memory that is not currently in use, so this seems not to be a factor either. I have no swap being used, the server is regularly rebooted to clear any memory that is not released (although as mentioned I have spare) and all servers except literally the ones to run the server have been stopped (but as mentioned CPU usage is never over 60%, and system use is negligable) I am totally confused as to why the fps will not stay above 100 when the hardware is clearly not struggling!! Would it be better to force is to use the 486 process instead of the 686?? -- _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux -- _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
