Hi, i have a serious problem with my players ping/lag.
I think, that comes from my server-side fps fluctuation.
Is there some way to make it really really stable?

I tried a lot of things, like:

- Changing sys_ticrate to 0, 100, 120, 333, 500, 1000, etc.

- Recompile kernel with/without:
Dynamic Ticks
100/250/300/1000 HZ
Preemtible/No Forced Preemtion (Desktop/Server)
Machine Check Exeption
Microcode Patch
NUMA
MTRR
High Resolution Timer
Multi-core scheduler
hpet
real time clock
dma
(i think the problem comes from here.. kernel settings..)

- Another kernel with rt patch (following this guide: 
http://wiki.fragaholics.de/index.php/EN:Linux_Kernel_Optimization)
- Allocating process to specific core (taskset)
- Using nice/renice/chrt
- Booting kernel with noapic noapm

My hardware is:
Mother Intel DQ45CB Executive Series
Micro Intel Core 2 Quad Q9650 3.0ghz 1333 12MB 775
RAM Kingston 8gb DDR2 800mhz (4 x 2gb) in Dual Channel Mode
Disk Seagate 7200.11 500gb 7200RPM 32mb Cache
Power Allied or CoolerMaster 460W
Case Rack 2U 6 coolers

Nothing helps, when i start more than 3 hlds servers, the fps fluctuates every 
time.

Someone has this problem? Anyone can really fix this to make fps server side 
stable?

Here is an example with 120 sys_ticrate:

04:37:40 CPU   In    Out   Uptime  Users   FPS    Players
          2.80  1.94  3.54    1237 27495  108.47       1

04:37:40 CPU   In    Out   Uptime  Users   FPS    Players
          3.00  1.94  3.53    1237 27495   21.01       1

04:37:40 CPU   In    Out   Uptime  Users   FPS    Players
          3.00  1.89  3.25    1237 27495  108.11       1

Another example with 10000 sys_ticrate:

04:40:03 CPU   In    Out   Uptime  Users   FPS    Players
          3.50  0.00  0.00    1239 27496  963.39       0

04:40:04 CPU   In    Out   Uptime  Users   FPS    Players
          3.50  0.00  0.00    1239 27496   95.96       0

04:40:04 CPU   In    Out   Uptime  Users   FPS    Players
          3.50  0.00  0.00    1239 27496  945.18       0

04:40:39 CPU   In    Out   Uptime  Users   FPS    Players
          3.75  0.00  0.00    1240 27496   50.26       0

Thanks for your time.
