source tv/server load

[mrsako]

i'm not exactly sure, how source tv works. does it create a hurrenderous server load or anything? or is it pretty much a lightweight addon as youd think (just a way for people to sign into the game as a spectator)

The sourceTV have some settings that can make the server lag.
The clients in s.tv dont take as much as a player, but the memory can be used by s.tv.
If you delay it 30 sec. - then this must be stored in memory or in swap space on HD.
If its stored on the HD, then the HD-bus (ide, sata, scsi) can lag.
If you have a scsi HD then its much more headroom then ide / sata.

Good Luck !
