Re: [hlds] Help with Rubberband Effect
Not sure if this is relevant or not as I don’t know too much about Linux, and I recently changed from a Windows server to Linux and had problems with resources being taken up and every now and again the server would falter. I found that as I was running VNCserver after staring it I had to log back in and type “killall vino-server” as it was causing one of the four CPU cores to max out at 100% and then move to another each being at 100%. After killing vino-server, everything now runs very smoothly. I may be completely on the wrong track here as a Linux noob, but just trying to help if I can.

Disk latency could also be an issue. 66 tick means each tick has a time budget of around 15ms (1000/66). If disk latency exceeds 15ms you will get stuttering - I had this happen on servers in the past. e.g. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/8110989/2013/np1-disk-latency.png Stuttery server leading up to 08/03 (US style month/day, August last year). Host migrated my server to another less loaded machine, great for a few weeks then as that machine also became more heavily utilised (by other customers) it started to stutter again. FWIW I use collectd to gather these metrics on each host, feeding into a single collectd collector which then uses collectd's write_graphite plugin to write all the data into graphite for storage graphing. collectd's default 10s polling is great for picking up transient issues, and graphite_web makes the visualisation easy.

It's a short term solution and once a company feels like they've got you silenced, they go back to their ways. A few people complaining on a mailing list definitely get ignored who bring nothing to the table. Why do you think you feel this happens over and over to you and your community? Anyways, we're going to be spinning our wheels poking at each other. I've got 300 emails in my box since the new update came out and my point with all this was there are so many threads that are NOT productive. The people who are complaining but bringing some productive comments are much farther ahead. That's all I'm asking at least. My replies aren't helping either since I'm not bring solutions.
