for 1000 fps, the scheduler has to load hlds 1000x. so you have to config the kernel to run on more than 1000 fps as you've got a couple of other processes (syslog, mail, init, etc etc etc) running on every system.
honestly i never bothered to run a server on 1000fps and lock them to 400-500 fps as these numbers are enough.
Are we talking about the 1000 HZ scheduler setting? Note that context switches don't necessarily happen on every scheduler interrupt. The high frequency just allows higher priority tasks to take over with less latency when they come ready. Normally several ticks go by before the scheduler selects a new process to run, based on CPU and I/O usage.
of course you're right. but it's still valid that other programs too eat cpu time and therefore one has to set the kernel to more than 1000hz when trying to keep a steady 1000fps in linux.
