Hi, You exactly have the same issue as we on our Linux machines.
I thought it was either the network or the kernel, as all machines share the same issue, and I couldn't trace anything down. I've verified the network is good by using Smokeping monitoring, and I've tested several completely different kernels, but still encounter the same issue. I haven't really seen the servers go to 100% CPU load, as there is no real pattern in the spikes... Sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't. It doesn't really matter what map is playing in our case. I am 100% sure that one of the servers has ran without this issue on the exact same config. That machine hasn't had any hardware or software changes, accept of TF2 updates. I believe we're having this issue for over 2 months now.

It's caused by SRCDS somehow magically going into 100% CPU usage and lagging down all the other servers on the box. (Ussualy lats 1-4 seconds, rather annoying) Here is a screenshot to illustrate the problem. http://img168.imageshack.us/img168/3594/srcdsspikekz1.png At first I thought it might be a plugin... but now that the free weekend has hit I restarted the servers whit out any plugins and I am still getting them. I have watched every single SRCDS process and I do know that SRCDS is causing this... not some other process. So far this seems to happen on Goldrush (atleast that's what I have noticed). Any one has any ideas?
