<div class="IPBDescription">what a joke!</div> I just started running an ns server, the same box when running a 32 player wolf server uses 6% cpu, ns with 8 players is using 100% and choking.

this is crazy! i can understand ns using more cpu usage, but this is insane!

are there any optimsations i can make? server is a dual xeon.

edit : no, the wolf server is not using smp

also, another bug that is really annoying me, is that when a gorge while evolving new traits, your rp counter goes back to the standard that a player should have (ie, non-gorge), then once you finish evolving your rp counter goes back up 100 limit but you lose the rp you had!

    Are you running a -pingboost x option? If so, that will result in higher CPU usage. Try turning that off and see what happens.

    And since hlds cant take advantage of dual processors, your dualie is a mute point. Especially if it's like dual 1ghz, of course its gonna peg out.

    this is true, but winxp will automaticly use half of the second one so get winxp.

    No, it won't; it just swaps the process so frequently between the two CPUs that it appears to be using 50% of both. No thread can ever actually run on more than one CPU at once <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Well, a dual does help out a little bit. Granted for a single process it would be better to have larger iron in there but having a dual means that the other processes that are running aren't taking as much time on the CPU the server is running on.

    Pretty much, on a duallie box hlds would run on processor 2 with the entire kernel, system, maints and crons running on cpu 1
