Called-it.
I guess I haven't been doing "too much" crack after-all.

It turned out that our motd-server was hacked - someone already remove
the javascript from the motd-html but the clients cached it somehow and
redisplayed it every time from cache and didnt reload the new html.

Do you also host the URL where the MOTD is pointed-to?
Since the MOTD is basically just a wrapper for a web-browser, its just
interpreting the content it gets back from that URL.
It would be something intentionally in that content (or, cough... and
exploited
web-site, cough).
I thought Valve disabled Java in the MOTD's a while back to avoid some
of that
stuff.
Not sure if that included CS 1.6 or maybe was just TF2.
Or, maybe they only disabled Java in the Steam Web Browser (the
"Overlay"
browser) and not in the MOTD browser.
Or, maybe I am just smoking crack and thinking of something completely
different.

I do have a theory about the cause of the CPU spikes. I'll release a
build with the next mandatory update (which will probably be this
afternoon) that I think could address the problem. But since we are
not reproducing the problem here, this is just a theory, not
disciplined engineering.
In order to conduct disciplined engineering, we need data from those
who are able to reproduce it. Judging by the amount of discussion this
problem has generated and the relatively small amount of effort that is
required in order to get the data to us, I'm really surprised we
haven't received more traces.
I have given out vtrace keys to every person who has asked for one. So
far we have received traces from exactly two (2) server operators. One
server operator had processor affinities set, the other was running a
high number of instances per core, such that the average CPU
utilization was high and there was no headroom for more than one
process to spike.

Correct, I was one of the folks discussing this in the last round of
messages and we run on Linux.?
Since my last message about having disabled replays I still get
occasional hiccups in a full server, but nowhere near as bad as before,
owing to the lack of replay overhead.
I'd be happy to run diagnostics if they were available for Linux, but
alas that's not the case.

You are only accepting traces for windows servers correct? Some of the
people that have complained are running linux. I have the issue myself
on two?independent?servers. We get this new game studder after
upgrading, leaving everything else the same.

Has anybody used vprof spike mode? This sort of problem is pretty much
exactly what it was designed to investigate.
E.g.
vprof_on
vprof_dump_spikes 20 // dump a vprof report if frame rate drops
below 20
If the problem is caused by network traffic, using the -netspike
command line argument can also be used to dig deeper into exactly what
entity data is being sent.
If you have a report and you don't know how to interpret it, you can
email it to me or post it here, I'm sure there are some people who can
help analyze it.
