FPS = 600 when connected to the internet, FPS = 10 when I'm not...

[monobrow]

I do have a "clean" install of Counter Strike Source. I'll copy the server.cfg across and see what happens.

When I go top in linux it reports pretty much what you see above (70+%) used by srcds_amd.

I was kind of hoping that I'd find a process eating up the CPU external to SRCDS that I could point the finger at. I'll try the clean counter strike and get back to you.

Many thanks for your help!

Strangely it does exactly the same! The launch command line is exactly as above and I will attach the server.cfg to this post.

With the internet connected...

Just to prove the CPU usage, here's what top had to say...
