Ok, here is what I've figured out: 1. The command line option "-tickrate x" for srcds does not correlate to server fps, "+fps_max x" regulates that. I'm still not sure what the difference is between tickrate and server fps is for srcds.
2. The server.cfg cvar, "sys_ticrate x" for hlds does roughly correlate to server fps. There is no fps_max option or cvar for hlds. There is however, an unrelated client cvar "fps_max x". I am however trying something different. I've decided to make the tickrate, sys_ticrate and fps_max all multiples of sv_maxupdaterate. I will see if that affects performance in any way. (I have funky rate settings due to the fact that I run a bandwidth challenged server on a business cable connection.)
