Server not showing getting 100 Tic

[[CNH]Rapture]

I have a Dell 1850, Dual Xeon 3Ghtz processor box with 15k HDs & 1GB RAM. I am running 1-20 player public player CS:S server, and 3-12 player private CS:S servers. The server is running Fedora Core 4 with the 2.6.14-1.1637_FC4smp kernel.

My command line is "./srcds_run -console -game cstrike -tickrate 100 +ip 123.123.123.123 +port 27015 +map de_dust2 +maxplayers 20 -autoupdate"

My private servers run the CAL.cfg and the pub uses this.....

My issue is that when in game in CS:S and running net graph 3, (with client cl_cmdrate and cl_updaterates both set to 120) the server usually stays between 80/s & 90/s and not around 101/s in my net_graph 3. Does anyone know what could be causing this or how I can get it to stay at the 100/s rates in net_graph?

If you do need 100 in Tic, set the server to 120 :-)

tickrate:
From Valve: During each tick, the server processes incoming user commands, runs a physical simulation step, checks the game rules, and updates all object states. After simulating a tick, the server decides if any client needs a world update and takes a snapshot of the current world state if necessary. A higher tickrate increases the simulation precision, but also requires more CPU power and available bandwidth on both server and client.

So it up to you if you want your server to run smoth or not :-)

Good Luck
