Hi, Thanks for your reply (and the others). The kernel in question used is the 2.6.27. I compiled it using the default config file which ships with Lenny. I have played around with HZ settings, the preempt thingies, tickles etc, but nothing seems to influence the CPU load. (This is tested with a vanilla TF2 install).
Could you point out to me which are the important settings I should configure? I'll then give 2.6.28-rc4 a shot as suggested.

There was a email screenshot on some site where a guy asked if Valve is going to update TF2 into L4D engine and the answer was yes. Perhaps this change will lower the usage that you are seeing. Have you tried another kernel to see if the problem persists? We tested 2.6.27 first, then newer one 2.6.28-rc4 which seems to run fine. -ics Jordy van Wolferen kirjoitti: > Did you check with htop? > I see tf2 is eating around 5% of the total cpu on a quad core: > > CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU X3210 @ 2.13GHz > Kernel: Stock Debian kernel: 2.6.26-1-amd64 > > > On Mon, Nov 17, 2008 at 4:26 PM, ics <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >> We also updated to lenny from etch so we could have never glibc to run >> L4D and i havent seen any increased performance with TF2 server on the >> same machine as L4D ones are.
