My performance problems explained (I hope)! My startup script had been running as root and using nice -5 to run srcds_run at a higher priority than normal. On my newest system I am not running it as root so I had to make changes and learn some sudo magic. I ended up changing my script to use renice -5 and not nice -5. But there are threads and renice does not renice the threads. This seems to be causing the main process to use a lot of CPU! Even with zero players the CPU load is 60-95%.
When I don't renice the process the CPU load is normal. I can even get it back to normal by doing renice 0. On my system that does not have this problem I am using: nice -n -5 screen -d -m -S css1 ./srcds_run +maxplayers 21 +map breakfloor +log on -secure -tickrate 33 +port 27015 But that changes the nice on other processes that don't need to be changed. So when I reworked my script I only renice srcds_i686. It seemed better to only renice srcds_i686.

Not sure why. Hopefully now that I don't renice -5, my performance problems will be gone.
