Is it easy to change the HZ setting? Im running fedora 2 and on 64bit AMD and might try trimming it down a little if its easy.

Replying to digests is a pain, maybe its time I start receiving them on a per message format. To head back on-topic: Steven, We've just picked up a Dual Opteron 242 (2GB RAM - Dual 36.7 Raptors). It is running FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE (32bit, of course). With a basic FreeBSD install, HZ 1000, and using the linux_base-8 emulator, I am experiencing somewhat high cpu usage. Something along the lines of about 50% usage on de_aztec with 15 players, and 40-45% on de_dust2. I noticed that in your post you said: "AMD 2.2Ghz: dod_escape: 28% dod_kalt: 30% dod_avalanche: 34%" That is quite different usage from us. I realize yours is 600mhz faster per cpu, and we are running an HZ 1000 kernel, but the difference still seems quite substantial, especially considering that we're running CS as compared to you running DOD, as well as 3 more players. If I can ask 2 simple questions: what emulators are you running, and had you slimmed the kernel down at all in the above post? This weekend we'll strip down the kernel, try the debian emulators (in 2 out of 2 cases so far we've experienced quite a bit lower cpu usage on debian), and run HZ 200 as well as 1000 to see if we can get any different results (of course, the HZ 200 will lower the usage).
