Same problem... With each update cpu usage increased. Especially since beta4 I have problems with my server.
System: Athlon XP 2400+ 512 MT RAM Debian 3.0
With more than 16 Slots at combat the Ping goes up to 150 ms. While playing NS it becomes laggy at only 12 players (clanwars). With public-settings I can drive max. 14 Slots NS. Before I updated to beta4 I had no problems hosting two 16 slot servers on the same machine.
My PC only started crashing with the B4 patch, the only way to fix it was to lower my system bus speed (166mhz -> 160mhz) it's a long-shot but it might be related.

~25 to ~70 <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif' /><!--endemo-->
2 servers with 14 slots on the server.
70% use cpu.
The huge cpu usage is the first reason wich make a lot of hoster of servers don't want to put NS on (Ns can't expand by this way).
