Before mutli-core CPUs became prevalent, memory usage probably wasn't
much of a concern, but now it is, because you can stack so many more
srcds servers on a single host.
I bought a cheap 6-core AMD CPU for under $200 and run about eight
public srcds servers on it, and a couple extra private/test servers. It
has 4GB of RAM right now, but I may need more soon. Some of our TF2
services are taking up 500MB each.

I guess this is a dumb question, but why doesn't Valve statically link
against the libraries they use? Wouldn't that solve the problem at a
slight overhead in memory for server admins?

No Orange Box update today. The one we wanted to release includes new
steam binaries, and they require new versions of libstdc++.so. Many
older linux distributions commonly in use do not have the proper libs,
and they aren't available simply by installing a package. So releasing
it as is would be very disruptive. Figuring out the best way to
package it to create minimum disruption, and get it tested, is taking
longer than expected.
