I just more or less want to post a Me too mail. hlds uses more resources than before. I am running them on FreeBSD 4.x, 5.x and 6.x with different types of linux_bases. Most of them are now using Gentoo 2005.x and 2006.x for the linuxulator. /Bjorn On Sun, 28 May 2006, Mike Noordermeer wrote:

Hi, I'll try to plan some maintenance to switch to a 32 bit OS on some machines, we'll see if that helps. Please tell us the result! Well, I migrated one box with some servers on it, but don't really see a difference. Some customers are still whining and FPS on some servers is still

Btw, on one server we haven't been able to run any ping boosted server for a while. We thought the problem was hardware bound, but I digged some logs now and the complaining started at 13 March, exactly after the HLDS update of 9 March. Seems quite clear to me now there really are issues with

Exactly! I also think acutally alot of people have that issue, but wont notice or report it, as they for example got enough CPU Resources Free, so their Server ran at 40% before, and is now running at 70%, so they won't notice Pingsspikes or lags. cheers SecurityFox I personally think most

My testing RHEL5 box running 64bit multilib does exhibit this problem with -pingboost. Note it does have both nptl and linuxthreads support built into glibc. It also uses a 2.6.16 kernel. My gentoo boxes are using glibc2.4 which only support nptl and are using 64bit multilib on a 2.6.16 kernel.

Well, status here is that serverside FPS is quite ok without pingboost for ticrate 150, with -pingboost 2 for ticrate 400 and unstable with any other combo. But well, that's the HLDS. Distro doesn't seem to matter, only Ubuntu shows somewhat unstable FPS with any combo. Also Ubuntu 5.10/6.06
