I'm pretty sure it's the server and nothing to do with Valve. I've been using atop ( http://www.atoptool.nl/ ) to monitor the what's being going on, but I've installed htop now too.
I'm seeing a full 24 slot server using (wanting to use) >100% of 1 core for sustained periods of 30 seconds or more. On the server there are reports of things like lag spikes of 5-10 seconds, players teleporting around and frequent drops into Yellow figures for the SV Network Graph value which results in some nasty stuttering/hitching. > (i assume you are running 64 bit debian, correct?) <-- if so did > you install the two packages 64bit servers need? Yes it's 64bit Debian Squeeze with 3.3.1 kernel. Which 2 packages might they be?
