Wondering if any FreeBSD HLDS users can help me out.
First of all. I'm wondering if FreeBSD was a good choice for HLDS servers. I mainly went with FreeBSD because all my other machines run FreeBSD and HLDS does seem to run well on it. Recently I built a new machine (dual 2.8ghz xeon, 1gb ram) to run some more game servers on. I get about 1-4 loss on them at any time, rarely going to 0. I have set the kern.hz="1000", tried changing rates and such. No luck.
CPU usage was never over 30% and other HLDS servers on the same switch on the net have 0 loss all the time.
Wondering if there are any other tweaks I should look at or something else to monitor.
Otherwise I'm very happy with the FreeBSD performance in HLDS. Though I can't even feel the 1 - 4 loss it bothers me that it is there =\
Next on my list of things to try was to disable HT. I have read that HT doesn't help and can actually be worse since HLDS isn't multi threaded. Is this true?
Thanks guys!
