CPU usage
Forgive me if this is repetitive, I did a quick forum search and did not see anything related posted recently.
I am wondering if some of you fellow server, admins windows, linux, and BSD could post some cpu usage and player counts of your servers and perhaps that particular servers specs.
The reason I am interested is I recently setup a windows server, I have always used linux in the past. I noticed a etpro port with 14 players on it on my windows server was using 2-6% CPU whereas the Linux ports uses 18-25% cpu for the same amount of players, same match configs.
I am curious to see what other people are getting.
Thanks

What CPU is that? We have 35% load on our Athlon XP when running 2 20slot servers. Distro is Suse 8.1Badhabit wrote:I run both a Linux and a Windows ETPro server and on average, I would say it runs at <2% on both. Even with 20+ players
Our servers now run on 64 bit steroids. Point your ET to:
- Forgotten Ground StopWatch Server with occasional wolfrof 1
- Fraggle Rock ETPub Server - Mix up ET/UT & Duke Nukem

On Suse 8.1 and 9.0. But i doubt its the distro.
I know someone, who has the same rootserver as me and always says he only has something about 6% cpu usage even with 40 people on. I really doubt that.
Or is there a cvar to make the etpro server optimize cpu usage ?

:O. Wonder what I'm doing wrong then? We have an Athlon XP 3000+ with 1 GB of RAM and every daemon (we run 4 instances of etded.x86) uses at least 2.5% when idle. Any Linux gurus here that care to comment?wntrmt wrote:model name : AMD Athlon(tm) prosussor

There's the CPU issue in this thread
http://bani.anime.net/banimod/forums/vi ... php?t=2024
Doesn't really sound like your problem, but it might be some similar configuration issue.

i don't think thats our problem. I don't have 90% cpu usage. I (and looks like some others) don't really have a problem. It only looks like the cpu usage seems to be just different on some machines.

What kernel are you guys running. I use 2.4.21-231-athlon #1 (its the default suse athlon kernel from SuSE 9.0).
Nevertheless, i try the proposed fix from the thread tomorrow.
Edit: Just tried with a second et-server. Already 2%, when idle...

We have 2.6.5-7.104. But we doubt it's the reason. We did optimized compiles on gentoo boxes too and it didn't decrease the cpu usage of the daemon...Mark wrote:What kernel are you guys running. I use 2.4.21-231-athlon #1 (its the default suse athlon kernel from SuSE 9.0)

According to deej:
We also used kernel 2.4 earlier and that didnt change anything.
Is 20 % CPU Usage normal for an et server with 20 peeps on it @ the hardware deej told already ??
Thx for help & the infos
