look at CPU usage as reported by top when you notice low fps, you'll probably see srcds_linux maxing out one core. If that's the case, you don't have many options: either switch to windows, or run srcds.exe through wine, or use a more powerful CPU, or ask Valve to make the orangebox on linux as good as it is on windows as regards multi core usage. If it isn't using the whole core when you get low fps, there may be something else blocking it. Try running without ANY plugins (don't load metamod at all)
