While this has been discussed a number of times (atrocious over usage of gettimeofday has been worked around). Can there be something done regarding the abuse of syscalls? I mean, something like this http://i.imgur.com/PdWTB.png isn't really that great. For instance, every 1 out of 4 futex syscalls fail due to timing out (shown in that picture). This is just expensive and downright silly. Not much can be done on our end without the source to SRCDS, which no doubt will not be released. The CPU usage that SRCDS manages to chug is borderline suicidal for the end result, not to mention the countless places in the engine where memory continues to leak like a sieve. This effects and hurts everyone. The 'serious' people who host servers cannot use Windows due to the lack of Symbols.
It's a stability / performance trade off. Either way, the end consumer is always the loser. Can this please be addressed?
