Nixuja, runing a 66tickrate CSS server ir a pain in the ass on some maps, like inferno, where are lots of stuff to calculate. I preffer 44.

Too many odd issues, we'll always go with what we can pretty much guarantee will be a good playable performance wih 66 tick. Personally I wish Valve would just clamp em all at 66 and ditch people from using 33 & 100 and inbetween so everyone knows what a server should play like, but that would probably be heresy or something ;).

VALVe says putting the tickrate higher than default at all is subject to performace issues, blah blah blah.... but CSS Is a better game with a higher tickrate... so I guess u gotta cus your losses with the high CPU usage.
