In relation with this topic... Does the floppy effect HLDS linux performance ? Not really just kidding ;) Have a Nice christmas!

Well, that depends on how pegged out your single cpu is from the hlds processes. If you are taking up most if not all of your cpu with 2 or more hlds processes, when one changes maps, it *will* lag the servers. I have seen it happen recently on damn respectable hardware with an IDE drive in it. Its just too bad hlds uses so much cpu now, compared to when it used to. kev The lag is due especially at the speed of the disk which are in générals in IDE into 5400trs/min and in SCSI in 1trs/min. For the CPU, if the DMA are actived, the CPU usage for the hard disk is very low (look this =)) bye ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
