Okay, so I ran this through BabelFish and I came up with this: "Hello. Recently, I received an xFire message from one of the administrators on my server, telling me that the game was performing strangely. At first, I didn't believe him, because I have never exercised much discretion in authorizing admins on my machines, however, when I connected to the server, I noticed significant lag. Looking further (at least as far as my short attention span allows), I determined that the server CPU utilization was quite low. While I am not entirely sure of the relationship between low CPU utilization and network latency and not knowing what else to do, I restarted the machine. ("When in doubt, pull the plug out") Much to my surprise, the problem resurfaced, in spite of the fact that I restarted without actually changing any of the operating conditions of the host. So, with my repetoire of troubleshooting strategies exhausted, I decided it must be a bug with the Valve software. I concluded this because (a) I am running some 3rd party mods and (b) even though there are thousands of servers, worldwide, NOT experiencing this problem, what else could it possibly be? A further diagnostic clue: when some players were banned and kicked for reasons unknown to me. I'm sure that's relevant. Please stop everything you are doing and fix this because my server is really running poorly. dOOd!"
