In retrospect, this might have been a good idea, and I might redo the
VMs to that at some point, but seeing that the srcds servers are 32bit,
I didn't think there would be much benefit running 64bit (except maybe
for the RAM issue, but the addition of RAM was done a good deal after

be a bit much for 3 virtual cores, depending on your CPU type (are

using Nehalem+? Older CPUs are much slower for virtualization), and
your load average makes sense for having that many processes running.
Its an Intel i7 930, 4 HT cores, as stated in the first mail, CPU
utilization on the VM almost never goes above 50% with full servers.

The CPU does have Intels VxT extensions.
