NS2 Dedicated Server with High Resources

Hi all,

I have setup a 20 man NS2 server on my Intel Quadcore dedicated server, which is located in UK, London. I noticed that the processes to run NS2 on a Ubuntu 11.04 64bit server with wine is just insane. 40% CPU usage and 14% memory usage with no players connected. Are there plans to release improvements in performance in the near future? I understand that NS2 dedicated server has only been developed to run on windows so far but would be really nice to setup some big public servers.

    The servers have high requirement at the moment, but it gets a little better with each patch.
    So you problem isn't your OS, at least not your main concern.

    Thanks, I have turned the server off for the moment being until this has been improved.

    It was mentioned awhile back by one of the devs that the server idles very inefficiently. So much so that you will actually see the CPU usage drop drastically once players join the server.

    That has not been the case for quite some time now.
