Sorry I can't quote anyone here - I've dumped my trash, but recall the discussion about hlds sitting idle, then punching up to these unreal cpu loads, and back down again?? Well, I did some testing, by accident. =P
I had done some monitoring to see if the issue affected my servers. So, using my test rig (PPro200/FreeBSD5.0) I started up hlds and both logged the cpu load and watched it run on top. Nada. Didn't do jack. Just sat there at 0.76% like nothin bothered it. Ok. Fair enough. Might be some differences between that and the live server (IX2.8/FreeBSD5.1). Nope. That machine did much the same thing, although I had to wait to 5am to find it with no one playing. So, figuring it wasn't affecting my servers, I dropped the issue. Until yesterday. I installed amx onto one of the other units. This one is SuSe with the 2.4.18-64GB-SMP kernel, compiled under gcc 2.95.3. After pluggin in amx and removing adminmod and statsme, I sat n watched. 85% with no one in there? WTF? Back to 2%, then 45%. It was weird. Thought it was the amxmod.. So I pulled that out and just ran it clean - no plugins except metamod. Same thing. Back to adminmod/statsme/hlguard. Same deal. Hlds 3.1.1.0c in all cases I could try had the prob with the 2.4.18 linux kernel, but not with the BSD5 kernels. Is anyone in position to verify what I have noted? With 3.1.1.1x? With different kernels? With same config as me?
