Hi
My experience is that, if you run 64bit OS and 32bit binary, the
operating system will emulate the program, and it decreases performance
and consumes more CPU. I have AMD64 debian installations, and if I run
hlds_amd binary (the 32bit one) the server FPS is only ~200-300 and it
consumes ~3-5% CPU at IDLE, and with 10 players about 20%...
With the outdated hlds_amd64 binary the FPS is constantly 500 and the
server consumes about ~5-8% CPU with 10 players. I suggest that if you
want to run the updated 32bit binary, you're better have pure 32bit OS.
The outdated hlds_amd64 binary is IMO better and the hitreg is perfect.
I don't care how outdated it is, becauce the fact is that it performs
much better than the 32bit installation, and consumes less CPU.
I'll update to the 32bit installation only when the 64bit binary wont
work anymore.
REMEMBER: don't fix it if it ain't broken..
And btw, the hlds_run script doesn't autodetect 64bit processors
anymore, because valve has changed the script to run only with hlds_amd
binary (even if you have 64bit processor). And why is this? Because the
64bit binary is very old, and they don't update it anymore. But it still
works fine.

The CPU support 64bits, and I have installed 64bit debian.
When I run the amd64 bit binary for hlds the cpu load decreases with 70%..

On that note
If I recall correctly from reading this list, is it correct to say that the
Linux 32 bit binary runs better if the Linux OS is running 64bit mode
natives, assuming the CPU supports 64bit?

I have Debian and the new socket 939 opteron installed, i see that by
default hlds_run starts hlds_amd and not hlds_amd64. why?
When I run hlds_amd64 with pingboost 2 and 10 players on the server, the
CPU load is 0-3% and peaks at 8% (mapchange etc)..
WOW!! :)
