Is it normal for a 32 man TF2 (Badwater) server to take up 80-90% of the CPU on Q9300 (Quad 2.5ghz) when the server is full and theres a lot of action going on?
I recompiled my kernel according to the Fragaholics wiki guide. Kernel 2.6.28.7 #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Mar 4 17:36:14 PST 2009 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux CPU scaling is disabled, irqbalance is disabled, server is not running unnecessary services nor web servers, databases, or anything else. I have 4 32man servers running on there, but only 1 is full and the other 3 have a total of 10 or less players combined. FPS max is set to 501 and sv_maxrate/cmdrate is 67. Did not change tick or systick via startup options. I used taskset to lock the process to single core # taskset -p 3634 pid 3634's current affinity mask: 4 # taskset -p 3331 pid 3331's current affinity mask: 1 # taskset -p 3105 pid 3105's current affinity mask: 2 # taskset -p 3243 pid 3243's current affinity mask: 8 Am I doing something wrong here, or do you guys have any suggestions? Thanks for any help/advice you can provide. - Dan _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
