It is amazing to note after that "definition" at the load averages
created by CSS just by its very existence in a dedicated game server.
The CPU is high enough to bring worry in AMD systems, but the problems
it creates with priority are the serious concerns for most dedicated
SRCDS people on this board (I imagine).

Load Average has nothing to do hardly with percentage of CPU usage. A lot
of things are calculated in the 'average'. Which is why servers with more
than one processor can handle extremely high load averages but still be far
under capacity. I found a good definition below. In all reality looking at
the load average to gauge your servers responsiveness and lag is not a good
thing to look at to determine this as far as hlds is concerned anyways.
The load average numbers give the average number of jobs in the run queue
over the last 1, 5, and 15 minutes. (These three time periods may vary from
one vendor's Unix system to another, but are usually 1, 5 and 15 minutes.)
In other words, the n-minute load average is the number of processes
competing for the attention of the CPU(s) at any moment, averaged over n
minutes.

They really should get some ground rules laid down for the mailing lists.

Simon,
If "you" took a moment and did a little research, rather like I did on
you,
you'd notice that I am actually part of that "we" that you seem to think
"you" represent.
Fact of the matter is, if you don't have anything sensible and structural
to
contribute, I'm sure both Valve and the mailing list community would much
prefer if you didn't waste our valuable bandwidth,disk space and time with
your "hate".
How's that for some resource conservation?
Regards,

Hi "axer",
who was the first the chicken or the egg?
fact is that they only release broken updates on the past years.
every update makes an admins job more worse.
without US they wouldnt sell a single copy of ther multiplayer games.
WE the hoster do pay the traffic and lots of ther costs valve has no
idea.
all we can expect is that BEFORE they release updates they test it. its
matter of respect which valve has not shown in the past. so dont
complain
about the fact the "we" cannot respect someone who distributes bugs. The
waste of ressources were addressed several times before, but valve has
not
fixed anything on this.
Maybe they have a roadmap of ressource-wasting. may be they publish it
so
we
can build supercomputers to host css servers before we have
update-related
lags...

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?

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.
my2cents
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.

Hey Fox, and the others,

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.
googling
http://www.teamquest.com/resources/gunther/ldavg1.shtml
Here you can find an explanation to your question.
So the Server only got 1 CPU, its an AMD 2200, the Problem
is, thats it
is a Sempron.
I've got a 2.6 Kernel with 1000Hz rate And only 512MB
RAM, but Linux
was always using 260MB. Now with a 3rd server up to 320MB.
The System is not very great, but I don't had to pay for it.
Here you can look at some graphs: http://www.o711.com/stats/ The
traffic last night was made by 8 playing people.
For now I will stop the 3rd Server, an look the effect.
I think I don't really understand what is going on on my System.
Ohh, I forgot.. its a 34Mbit Connection.
Sorry for my bad english... :-)
