Our dod:s servers isnt having any problems, one has been up since dod:s was 
relesed, it has been problem, but not now !
Intel cpu:s P4 + 3040Xeon

our scrim servers with sourcetv is having high cpu-usage, but that is a 
sourcetv problem.

Hello,

  I can confirm this. Updates are juste eating more and more cpu.

  Even on DoD:S ... For my servers a core2duo E6300 was really
  fine 1.5 years ago. Now it's not enough at all !
  And how about Colmar ? This map is just unplayable because of
  tickrate drops ...

  On player's side : my old Athlon was fine with 25/30fps 2 years
  ago. On the same map I get 10fps max today ...

  Maybe the marketing push to more and more eyecandy things but
  what about an eyecandy game you can't play anymore because of
  mandatories updates ?

Re: [hlds_linux] [hlds] Linux srcds performance unacceptable

2008-05-03 Thread ics

This cpu usage is a rising problem. Friend of mine had 5 months ago a 
server that was able to run 24 slots. around 3 months ago, it had to be 
lowered to 22 slots after certain update. Now after Goldrush update, it 
is down to 20 and even that is not enough because in some maps, the lag 
is seen very clearly.
CPU just maxes out and if we have this problem, others will have it too. 
Is there any way to reduce this usage because it really is a huge issue.

I took a test. Joined 10 randomly picked servers and only 1 of them was 
able to run atleast 50 ticks at all times. half could run only 30 at 
minimum and rest kept dropping under 30 and the worst part was round 
start. Lag is problem, especially on over 20 slot servers right now and 
someone needs to do something before those servers go down. Not everyone 
has enough money to upgrade their hardware after 6 months.

I might've spoken a bit too soon on this - the servers do still get up
into the high nineties CPU usage and stay there for a while - it seems
like after they've been running for a while their overall CPU usage
drifted back up to about the same as before the patch. This might be
the first ever case of "CPU Leaks" :-/ The server also still incurs
minor memory leaks, which seem to be about the same since before the
patch.

I run two 32x linux servers that are nearly always full and
occasionally empty out at night. Here are some pretty graphs:

http://www.nephyrin.net/NemuCPU.png

Shows Load Average. On thursday it was lower despite both servers
being full (???). The big spike today is the patch. The servers were
both *instantly full* after the patch (among the first online) and
have been *constantly full* since, yet the CPU usage over the past
three hours has drifted up to pre-patch levels...
http://nephyrin.net/NemuMem.png

Memory Usage over a longer period - note that i went from one to two
servers on tuesday, so the memory leaks have actually remained about
the same as before.

If anyone from Valve wants a login to my stats system let me know. It
has tons and tons of pretty graphs dating to back when the server
started.
