Golly, I seem to recall something about CPU throttling and power savings. Check your SpeedStep settings and see if the CPU usage is not because your processor is only running at, say, 800 mHz due to low load.
In-game thrashing might occur when different cores are changing frequencies to respond to fluctuating CPU demand. Try locking your cores at a static frequency as a diagnostic exercise. -ross Date: Tue, 06 Aug 2013 01:42:57 +0300 > From: ics <[email protected]> > To: Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list > <[email protected]>, Half-Life dedicated Linux server > mailing list <[email protected]> > Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] [hlds] Cpu usage overboard? > Message-ID: <[email protected]> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed > > You posted to windows list but i added a copy to the hlds_linux list too > which might have more people that could help you.
