LinuxQuestions.org - Thread is running slow for game!

Hi!

I'm currently porting the dedicated server for our game from win32 to linux.

After fighting my way until it compiles and run... i get extremly slow response from the linux server.

If i connect through LAN, i get like 700~900 ping.

The game is setuped like this :

- The main program is a console app waiting for input to interact with the game server
- The game logic itself is spawned in a thread

In win32, with default thread parameters, everything works perfectly.
But i suspect that i'm not setting up my pthread accordingly for linux.

Here is how i create the thread :

Code:

                pthread_attr_t threadAttr;        //attribute for parameting the linux thread

                pthread_attr_init(&threadAttr);

                pthread_attr_setinheritsched(&threadAttr, PTHREAD_EXPLICIT_SCHED);

                pthread_attr_setstacksize(&threadAttr,4000);  //reserving a 4 meg stack for the game

                pthread_attr_setschedpolicy(&threadAttr, SCHED_RR); //trying to

                sched_param schedparam;

                schedparam.sched_priority = 99; //if i put 100 here the thread doesnt work

                pthread_attr_setschedparam(&threadAttr, &schedparam);

                

                if(pthread_create( &threadID, &threadAttr,(PTHREAD_START_ROUTINE)pFuncter, pParam))

                {

                        perror("Thread Creation");

                        return false;        

                }

i even tried to run this as root to make sure it wasnt something interfering with my user rights.

Thanks for any suggestions
