Just noticed huge differences in FPS between checking stats with "rcon stats" in cs:s and typing "stats" in the server console.

"rcon stats" through the game console in cs:s gave almost all the time over 990fps with just some small drops to around 800fps.

"stats" into server console gave almost all the time fps around 130-180 with some random increases above 800.

Anyone who can comment the differences?

16 players in the first example and 14 in the second.
(You can see number of players in the rightmost column of the stats)
The high cpu usage might be cpufreq was on "ondemand" rather than "performance" at this time.

btw.
It's a CSS DeathMatch server at tick100.
Running on Intel Q6600 and
Debian4r3 kernel 2.6.25.8-rt7-vanilla #1 SMP PREEMPT RT Tue Jun 24 18:09:35 CEST 2008 i686 GNU/Linux

no matter what kernel it seems.
Currently 2.6.26.8-rt12 and console still differs from rcon...

Am I really the only one?

Surely, this is only due to the fact your actually interrupting the console itself and will cause it to jitter? Rather then using less CPU usage and doing it remotely using HLSW or ingame.

@janne
Very strange. I got similar results myself too.

I used Zyrain's rcon tool [ http://trog.qgl.org/browse/docs/code/hl2rcon.c ] and looped it in a shell script doing one "stats" every one second. Then at the same time I did "stats" directly to the console. I didn't count, but in the 20-25 seconds I got about 20 times maximum ~250 FPS with rcon tool, and from console I got it about 5-10 times.

@drazah
Sure thing.
