-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Probably has something to do with the whole, running servers at 100 or 66 tickrate and with an fps_max set to 600 with a kernel timer resolution that supports a SRCDS fps at or around 500.
If you use Valve defaults server settings I doubt anybody would see major issues except on the most mediocre or marginal hardware. That being said, when SRCDS 1st came out, most of us could run 40 player 100 tickrate, high fps SRCDS on decent hardware, the same hardware that now is only marginal for 20 player 66 tickrate. When I say marginal in this instance, I mean, it seems to run ok for the most part, but this next update could push things over the edge, if the past is anything to go by. This goes for both Linux & Windows users.
