" However, If I had been doing that while there were multiple games running, it would have lagged everybody out - if not disconnected them." My situation: 16 cores/12GB RAM, RAID, FreeBSD. Running 5 CSS servers, 3 TF2B, Team Speak 3 and HLstatsX with huge database. Shutting down TF2Beta, updating - at this time I got many messages from my friends (That playing CSS and using TS3) "LAGSLAGSLAGS". So, really, SteamCMD make lags on any server, that was never happen with HLDSUpdateTool...
