Simon,

These resources that Valve are 'wasting' wouldn't happen to be generating
you money, money that I assume you are keeping and not handing back directly
to Valve after covering costs?

Regards,

Its a matter of fact, that since valve hes released the december 1st 2005
update server do take more cpu time and more memory.

valve should do their homework and test their "updates" before wasting our
ressources while we provide the network their sales depend on.

PS: usually we had a average load of 0.1 while serving 100slots css
(filled). since december 1st we have a load of 1.8 with peaks up to 4 when
serving 100slots css (40filled). the only changes are the forced
steamupdates which deliver fresh developed bugs.

Load average can be more than one. Load average tries to tell
you the probable "ability" of the processes of you machine to
ran smoothly (that's a lot simplified).
On your machine there are also other processes as for example
apache ones.

Here you can find an explanation to your question.
