Hi.
Just tested one server with -pingboost 3 and +sys_ticrate 1000 on my
1000hz kernel, No Preemt, Tickless.
And it was even worse then with -pingboost 2 and +sys_ticrate 1000.
got about 900fps fairly stable with the pingboost 3 option.
And 980fps stable with -pingboost 2 option.
Wierd.
So I've heard. I remember using gentoo a couple years ago, compiling
everything was the only reason I didn't stay. And apt and .deb packaging is

Since CPU values have been known to be reported incorrectly, there's
no reason why fps values would *always* be reliable and accurate.
In response to OP, try running 1000hz, not tickless kernel. Kveri has

There's no need of sv_maxupdaterate/sv_minupdaterate because the server's

At 1280x1024, the banner is 574x115 pixels. You have to push the image
down and over 1 pixel for it to align properly inside of the space

how to do it with simple html/css:
html
body style=margin:0; padding:1px;
server.cfg is overwriting any settings in server_cfg##.cfg.
Example:
You have in server.cfg:
hostname Test with server.cfg
And in server_cfg01.cfg:
hostname Test with server_cfg01.cfg
rcon_password test
The hostname of the server will be Test with server.cfg, and there
will be an rcon password
