Will do some more checking to make sure but looks like vanilla centos 4.4 so 2.6.9-42.0.3 kernel, test box is AMD XP2600 with 1 gig of RAM in Dual Channel on nforce2 chipset.
I'm guessing you were using 64bit flavour as we tried same OS but 64bit version of the kernel running on a Virtual Machine and saw time drifts etc & nasty spiking we thought this was an issue running srcds under vm with 1000hz. we noted when doing this under vm that srcds ran better with compile maxing the cpu out in the background! unfortunately don't have a 64bit test box, so VM running on 64bit boxen was only option to run a 64bit kernel..was surprised that 32bit ran nicer but we put this down to using virtualization software to run srcds on 64bit kit.. if anyone wants to donate some 64bit kit to test further lol please send to... Whisper can you test on a 32bit system to see if this matches up with what we are seeing?

Reply-To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Which kernel version were you using? I have seen this fps fluctuation as well under Linux, when trying to help setup SRCDS on a Linux box and the server fps is all over the place for what appears to be little to no reason at all.
