Speaking on the subject... I was trying to archive 1000FPS performance on my
dual quad box for few months under Debian Linux. Best result i've got is by
using latest kernel (im using 2.6.26.5) with kernel config you can get at
http://2po.eu/downloads/custom/www.2po.eu_linux_kernel_2.6.26.6.config
But i suggest anyone to experiment with "IO Schedulers", all the settings in
"Processor type and features", try to disable all the "Power Managment", try
kernel param "acpi=off" (append="acpi=off" for lilo.conf).
When dealing with lot of servers on one physical box (i have 8 physical
cores and allow to run about 20 HLDS's and few HLDSS's at same time) you
must experiment with affinities ("man taskset" in Linux) and priorities
("man renice").
And as it was suggested before in this maillist - if you're using 4+ GB of
ram, use 64bit distro.
