you think i should use tsc or hpet? there are opinions for both throughout

TSC is fast to read because it lives in the CPU..
HPET lives off somewhere behind a bridge, so reading it requires

I feel like such a linux nub... how do you set your clocksource?

On any fairly recent 2.6-series kernel you can put this right on the
kernel boot commandline:
clocksource=$whatever
like
clocksource=hpet
or
clocksource=tsc
so that it is set at boot.

TSC should be always be available as a clocksource, unless something

I'm running 4 32 man TF2 servers at 500fps (66 tick) and I'm wondering
if having kernel at 1000HZ (not tickless) with PREEMPT is necessary?
Is that putting unnecessary strain on my CPU (Q9300)?
My second question is if you guys use HPET as your clocksource

Its not the timing that wastes the CPU time. You can't lower it with that.
90% is absolutly normal for such a big server.
