<div class="IPBDescription">and screen too</div> Ok, very breif description

I'm running a 1800xp on a moderate board, 1/2 a gig of ram + 2 gig swapfile

OS is redhat 8, all I had lying around

with 3 players, on ns_hera, average load is 25%, I've been informed this is a lot over what it should be, and looking at ways to trim it down, or what could be causing it.

Would running Win2k Advanced Server give me lower CPU loads?

Sorry for the newbie post.

Also, could someone inform me exactly how to get make to compile screen into a set directory? I tried 3 or 4 times but never got it

Thanks

Just tested again, 3 players, ns_eclipse, hlds CPU of 11.7% MAX

im running a server on a Dual 550 w/ 128mb ram on Slackware linux and i usually top out at around 70%-80% usage per cpu average across most maps.

ns_eclipse is the easiest on your CPU. Hera is the worst and bast is 2nd.

Well yeah, that's why I tested on those, i'm wondering if they're roughly accurate to what other people get.

HUH? What do you mena by a "set directory"? And why would you need to force the install of sceen into any dir other then the systems dirs it goes into?

If your asking how to compile it? it's;

(root)
./compile
make
make install

Aye, I know that much, but it seems to like to compile itself in its own directory instead of wherever it should go, I might redownload the tarball later.

Edit: By "own" I mean "source"

That's why there is the make install step. Make makes it in the source directory, make install installs the binaries and appropriate documentation in the standard system locations.
