Any Valve linux ded gets outperformed by q3linded (mind you, the base is from pre 2000) by miles. Yes yes ... you cant do so much CPU hogging stuff and stat calculating things .. give it a break its almost 10 years old and even if you dont use any of those features in valves software it gets outperformed.
Since alot of servers still use that in different variations what "most other games" are u refering to ? Oh yeah there is D3 Enginge wich is abandoned anyways and ET... apart from that i cant see too much worse performing linux servers then valves ;) just my 2 bits...
