When you type "stats" in the console and it shows how much CPU you are using, is that for a single core or combined? I'm running on Ubuntu, if that matters.

i know with my system its right on the usage of a single core. Ive had setups in the past where it wasnt correct. So id just compare stats and a top run through ssh and compare

good, because an 8 core server shouldn't have a 60% CPU load with 1 server across all cores

tyvm. just confirming

From what I understand, SRCDS won't use more than one core anyway, so it would have to be just the core the server is running on.

yeah its per core

I've just finished this CPU statistics plugin for Munin. You can download it directly from http://css.setti.info/code/munin-srcds/m...srcds_cpu_. This might help you assign high-usage game servers on separate cores so none of the cores run out of steam.

Let me know if you install the statistics plugin.
