-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] I'm sorry, everybodys CPU is getting crushed by SRCDS.
We used to be able to run 40 player 100 tickrate CS SRCDS's on Opteron 270's (1 SRCDS per Core) with plugins on Windows 2000 & 2003 We are now running 20 player 66 tickrate CS SRCDS's on the same hardware with only some Matties scripts and Metamod. You guys on Linux seem to be suffering even more than us Windows guys, but never the less, everybody is hurting regardless of hardware/OS combinations.
