Yeah its not a problem with the system, its confirmed to be with certain
maps that so much crap on them.

You're going to have to disable it in the bios, not in the kernel. HT
isn't really going to help or hurt in your case (disabling it won't
really hurt anything, as it's still not considered a physical cpu)
If you really want to run at full speed, get an irwindale intel cpu,
the more L2, the better under load.

First off, thanks everyone for the replies.
I do have SMP and HP enabled, as some of you asked.
I have tried 100 tickrate, versus 33 and 66, makes no difference, seems
100 is best though.
The machine has 2 gigs of physical DDR ram (ecc registered unbuffered)
I will go ahead and try making the heapsize 256megs instead of the
defaults.
I'll post back the results of it running 32 players, with 256megs of
heapsize under tickrate of 100.
As far as disabling HT, I have considered that, I did that with the
2.4.X kernel, didn't seem todo a whole lot as far as performance
differences, but actually run worse honestly, I haven't tried on the 2.6
kernel, though, maybe I will.
It'll be full tonight i'm sure, always is, so thanks again guys.

We're running two 32 player DOD servers. One on CentOS 4.x and the
other
on Fedora Core RC3.
Here is our starup info:

With the server at 31/32 (reserved slot empty) we have the following:

26219 dod1 10 -5 176m 107m 9484 S 81.2 10.8 25:09.27 srcds_amd
We never seem to have memory issues... just CPU issues.
We're running our servers on AMD 3000+ Barton Procs w/ 1 GB RAM and
1 80
GB 10K RPM HDD. We have one server using 100 mbps eth int and the
other
using 10 mbps eth int. Using 10 or 100 mbps ints doesn't seem to
make a
difference.
Here is our server.cfg. Any suggestions on how to improve our
performance?
