Re: [hlds_linux] Cpu usage for 32 slot tf2 server.
I have been boored on occastion and compiled funky kernals with 1000hz, and yeah, they do behave wierd. Biggest thing for me though is that they make tf2, a game that already uses a lot of CPU use even more CPU. On Mon, Feb 23, 2009 at 4:48 PM, Gary Stanley wrote: > At 03:47 PM 2/23/2009, A.

ESX/ESXi barely adds anything for overhead it seems. My 2 peso's. I ran 8 L4D forked servers in an ESX VM with no complaints.

> not under esxi it doesn't..:) We're using an ESXi cluster, so good to know ;) But seriously, I still think the CPU usage is ridiculous for TF2 now. I've fiddled a lot with HPET/Hz/etc. settings under Linux and I can't seem to get it below these values really.

Re: [hlds_linux] Cpu usage for 32 slot tf2 server.
CPU usage is indeed horrible :(. A X3320 can run 2 full 32 slot DODS servers or 1 TF2 server. I also see FPS drops even with 30%+ free CPU on the core. Sometimes it gets noticeable when there's a lot of action going on. The DODS servers also maintain much more stabler FPS whit out any tweaking :/. On Mon, Feb 23, 2009 at 2:37 PM, A.

Re: [hlds_linux] Cpu usage for 32 slot tf2 server.
Back on topic... I am seeing this same odd CPU usage. 75-90% load running 1 single 32 person server. This also lags clients when there is a lot of bullet calculation close together. This has to be from some recent update.

Re: [hlds_linux] Cpu usage for 32 slot tf2 server.
I'm experiencing around 70-90% cpu with one server being full. Later in the night when 3 servers are full it oddly hovers around 50-70% per core on an Intel Xeon X3320 (quad core). It wasn't always like this but as someone said in the past, as more updates came out the worse it became for CPU consumption.

Hello there just wondering what type of cpu usage you guys are getting on a full 32slot tf2 server? Mines been a lot higher than normal in the past few days now. On one of my Q6600 servers.
