Even after improvements of '20-30%' one of the servers I run (Dual AMD 2000+ with 1Gb DDR) runs at 100% CPU usage with just two servers running. Servers running only a player limit of 12.
The question is, is this what we need to expect from NS? Considering theres so much more processing required with all of the map entities and fog of war for the commander etc? or do the NS team expect it to get far better.
On that box I run 3 x MOHAA, 3 x Q3, 1 x Q1, 2 x UT2003. Even with all of those at full load the box used to peak at 40% cpu usage. I've shut them all down and ran just the two NS servers and its 100% usage.
Let me make it clear this isn't a 'whinge' post, just need to access whether this is likely to improve - otherwise the amount of servers we are able to run will be severely affected. Currently were only able to run 2 NS servers, one on this box and another on a 1.2Ghz Athlon (it uses all of that CPU). The servers are always full all night and it is a shame we can't put more up, as theres definately support for the mod.

Is there anyway to get access to work in progress by Flaya? Or is it all done via internal testing?
