I've had some performance issues lately as well. I have a Dual Dual core
opteron using less than 10% of cpu and my clients are complaining that
the
server will not maintain tickrate(fps). I have tried various settings
and
configs and I don't even know for sure if it's the server side that is
giving the lower fps. Some of my clients think that I need to compile a
better kernel on my linux servers? Could this be true?

Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] Worse performance since last update
Greetings
Well, since I updated my 32 Slot Server from Engine Version 29 to 35,
the CPU usage is 20-30% higher, so that I had to reduce my the Slotcount
to 20, to prevent lag and monsterpings.
Unfortunaly I forgot to make an backup before updating, so it would be
very nice if someone could tell me, where I can get older HLDS Updates.
cheers

Hi Guys,
Since the none compulsory update in March where some changes were made to
apparently decrease CPU usage we've been noticing degradation in server
performance.
However unlike a lot of complaints on the mailing list / forums we
haven't
really noticed our average CPU usage go up much - a couple of spikes here
and there but certainly none of this 'maxing out my server' business that
some people are encountering.
The performance drop after the non-compulsory update in March ended up in
us rolling back the update because bullet registry and warping was really
poor. After rolling back the update everything (bar the in-game VAC
secure
icon on connecting to servers) was perfect again. However after the
compulsory update the other day we're having the same problem again
(although it doesn't seem quite as bad) that's over a month since when
the
issue was first reported, I really hoped that would have been sufficient
time for Valve to fix it but this doesn't seem to be the case.
From a good browse on the forums there has been plenty of discussion
about
this matter and quite a few people are in a position where they are
having
to jump ship to Windows which is a real shame. What concerns me the most
though is that there is very little discussion about it on the mailing
list.
What does this mean, that people are noticing the issue or that they
don't
care? My point is that issues like these are not going to get fixed
unless
enough people start making a fuss (and I don't mean fuss as in "OMFG I
HATE
YOU VALVE!!!111" - etc)
I would be really interested to know how many others have picked up on
these anomalies, especially on higher tickrate servers since the last
compulsory / non-compulsory update.
Cheers,
