I run 2 TF2 servers, a CS:GO server, a Ricochet server, and a The Ship server on a VPS with 3 cores. I cannot say it's been 100% lagfree for all time forever, but I've never noticed sustained lag or fps drop on any one of my servers. I would say our "worst" is about every few days, the server will have a quarter second of snapback/rubberbanding.
I've never bothered to try and lock servers down to just one core, and the only other tricks I have are declaring them as high priority when they launch.
