The point being that the situation with Valve and their dedicated server software is still miles ahead of most other game developers / publishers, so cut them a bit of slack.
Performance has always creeped over time with dedicated games servers. We used to be able to run 6x 20 slot CS servers on a Dual PIII 1Ghz back in the day. The only games that I haven't seen the performance creep higher with, have been the ones that have been released and then the developer washes their hand of it and never touches the game ever again. _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
