yay!! new XP2000+, i can finally host ns_hera (barely) and ns_bast on my server!!! I love these maps but couldn't host them before. But something i noticed too.....my RAM usage is down.....maybe i just need to give it a day and it will be 100% full again. i dunno. I'll post again tommorow night and let you know.
With all the tweaking and reading i've done, its better just to get a new proc <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

This machine runs everything on my network.
Point being you'd think a CPU 1-2 generations above it with 4 times the clock rate would do a little better than lowering total usage by 20%. There's got to be some tweaking that can be done somewhere because I don't think it is processor power that is the problem with comparisons like this coming out.
CPU usage i expect to be 100%. Pings are in the <100 range for most clients (in my area atleast). 150 for others. and thats on a full server running ns_bast.
I know what i'm talking about. those stats i posted prior are for a 1.5hr game so far....onos and everything.
there isn't any tuning you or I can do. Its all up to flaya and the dev team to optimize the NS code. the only solution is to add more horse power at this point in time.

avg ping: 220
(alot or out of area, but all regulars and love the server, never complain about lag except with onos before) But the onos problem is gone now i believe with the extra horses.
According to net_graph I'm at 110ms 1/2 a room away with the scoreboard saying I'm at 450ms. Whenever I ask people say that it doesn't seem too laggy in spite of the numbers.
Of course that isn't on Bast or Hera. Both were removed for lag and bast won't go back in until the issues with the SC placement denying too much is resolved.
On the other, other hand that was before I set it up to run with pingbooster 3 and a renice to -10. Who cares if my mail gets delivered .02 seconds slower, ya know? I've not had a full 6:6 game with those settings in.
I agree, there isn't much more we as admins can do. I was referring to the code itself. Something is wrong when such a large range of CPU power doesn't seem to have a major difference on the numbers. Either there is a serious bottleneck somewhere that is holding the higher end processors back in a big way or the numbers, as reported to us, are incorrect.
I run a p4 2.26 ghz with 512megs of DDR 7200
I have a 16 slot server (+1 for reserve)
ns_bast
ns_caged
ns_eclipse
ns_hera
ns_nancy
ns_napo
ns_next
ns_nothing
ns_tanith
and on avg pings are around 60-100ms. keep in mind that ping times also include what kinda connection you have and exactly were your users are connecting from, my location has killer peering and its a 100mb connection. But if you have a t-1 to say some mom and pop tier 3 provider, your ping times are not going to be so good usually.

Very nice!
I have amd 2000 xp+ with 512 ddr and server is 18 player.
Pings are very good.. something like 15-40
Please don't bring this up, its not an issue.
I get 150-200ms (on the score board) and I'm on the LAN so i know its not my connection.
net_graph 3
mine shows 0-15 ping while the scoreboard shows anywhere from 50-300 depending on map and conditions etc..
I cant convince players that my server isn't a piece of **obscenity**. That's the only thing bothering me.. the average player is ignorant
you appear in the weirdest places mellon. never expected to see you on the NS boards <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
