CPU Load averages and higher pings
I run a Linux Server with a P4 3.0 Ghz processor, 1,5 GB Memory and 2x80GB Hdd SATA RAID-0
The only CPU consuming proces is a public Mohaa Spearhead Server. From about 18-20 players the CPU load averages tend to exceed 1.00 and causes pings to go up in the game. Is this a CPU problem? Is the load to big for that CPU?
The server only requires 150 MB Memory.
In general the CPU load shows a wave pattern... from 0.2 to 0.95 and back.
Only with loads over 1.00 the pings go up and in general then there are at least 18-20 players at the server. The server has a 100 Mbit connection.
Any ideas what causes the overall ping rise of all players?
