This is a multi-part message in MIME format. -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Since the December 5th time frame, we have had this intermittent choke. Normally Choke is related to network issues. We have done extensive testing and know the network is not the case. Currently we are running on RedHatEnterprise 4 on dual 2.8 Zeon's, with 2 Gig ram. The choke jumps from 0-65. We have tested in multiple datacenters, and we have the same problem. We have even loaded Windows 2003 and we still get some choke, but the choke is only high when you first join. It may jump to 10-15 but not as bad as on Linux.
The high CPU also showed about in this same time frame. We had Enterprise 3 and had high CPU, 12-14 man server would hit 100% So we then built a custom kernel and got CPU % down. Next we loaded Enterprise 4 a major release of Linux and again CPU % is back up. A single 20 man server will hit 99% on a dual 2.8 Zeon. Now what is annoying is prior to the December 5th time frame we could easily run a 32 with in the 80% range and zero choke. Does anyone have a way around these problems? Does Steam plan on supporting major releases of Linux? Or does steam plan on hoping more 14 year olds will host servers at the homes on Windows? -- _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
