Thanks steve, My system is a dual 3ghz Xeon (HT is on), running a vanilla Debian 3.1. I've tried a whole range of kernels. I've tried a whole range of options in server.cfg. I think it can run more than 70 slots of CS:Source but i'm uncertain...
The server runs these 3 CS servers, a single installation of hlstatx, MySQL, Apache. That's to display the stats. The graph shows CPU utilisation, i have not figured out the max value. It uses an snmp value and it shows an indication on usage but i would not put my money on the percentage value... that's because i don't know how to handle the HT side of things... If done tests on 3 different systems all more or less the same results. I have found that if there are more then 12 players (or bots), the FPS gets unstable. I've posted my question in the steampowered forum, you can find it here: http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=410324 I've posted there because i did not know about this mailinglist yet... gr, Bart > As there is a direct correlation between your high points on CPU "load" > you may be overloading your machine.
