sorry but its not like you said.. hlds is single-threaded, thats true, but it use multiple cores at once time at least you use taskset to force to use only one core.
pentium 4 have hyperthreading, doesnt have 2 real core.. just a real core + "virtual" core (you will see 200% of cpu but its not very real) pentium d / pentium dual-core / core 2 duo have 2 cores (200% of real cpu) core 2 quad have 4 cores (400% of real cpu) core i7 have 4 real cores + 4 virtual cores (800% cpu but not very real) about your fps problems, try running your server with: # chrt -p 5 ./hlds_run x x x x x x x cheers! kERPLUNK LocalStrike | Game Servers http://www.localstrike.com.ar/ ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andrew Armstrong" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]>; "'Half-Life dedicated Linux server mailing list'" <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, September 10, 2009 12:05 AM Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] Very unstable FPS in hlds I have not read most of this thread, but you mentioned 23% CPU usage. Remember that: * hlds is single-threaded. This means a single server can only use at most one CPU core at a time. If you have four cores on your processor, then the maximum amount of CPU power a single process will appear to use is 25% (100% of one core of the four available cores). * If you have 4 cores, then you are hitting maximum CPU already for this server (23% is pretty close to 25%!).

It is a Pentium 4 with hiperthreading. Sory about the confusion Now, anybody have any clue about my fps problem?
