On drunken_f00l's advice I decided to mess with the sleep() call srcds does. Apparently

This means that the server isn't sleeping more when it's overshooting its FPS goal, nor is it staying awake longer when its not quite getting there. Anyone from valve care to comment on this? Is there a performance/stability reason it works this way, or might there be a possible performance/cpu gain/tradeoff from writing a plugin that tweaks sleep()? - Neph _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
