Hmm, so the load average (as per uptime) divided by the number of processors
is 1.00 or higher. Is that right for your test machine?
I was wondering about that.
The idea is to prevent citserver from overloading the machine and bringing it
to its knees.
What is the output from uptime and how many processors/cores does it have?
/* Only start new threads if we are not going to overload the machine */
if (CtdlThreadGetLoadAvg() < ((double)1.00)) {
This line in threads.c (arround 1363) controls that, probably that figure
should be higher or perhaps the method of getting the load average is bad on
that box. I used 1.0 because my machine becomes almost unuseable after 1.0.
