RE: [hlds] Windows Equivalent of Dynamic ticks in Linux?
-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Thats exactly how I mean it to be read. Without an FPS booster VNC takes between 4 and 8 percent, with an FPS booster we're looking at 20% which is enough to affect the servers running on the box. I'm aware other things may also be affected, but when one process is eating 20% of your CPU and the others are still around the 5% mark it's something to be aware of. I can't say what the load is when not connected via VNC because VNC is the only thing we use to admin the servers.

The higher the timer resolution, the higher CPU usage to the extent that it can gobble 20% of a 3.0Ghz P4.So option 2 below is possible it would help all those VNCers out there This has nothing to do with VNC its the pure fact of raising the timer resolution that causes the CPU increase, its a well known fact.

Re: [hlds] Windows Equivalent of Dynamic ticks in Linux?
-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Most types of computers do have an RDP system, though. Just search google. I know for a fact that Linux has an RDP client (at least in Kubuntu). I'm sure there's also a Mac equivalent out there. Either way, RDP will most likely use much less resources, I know it doesn't even use much when I'm on any of my servers with RDP.
