Some experience i've had: I tried the bsdi version of qwsv (quakeworld server) on FreeBSD 2.2.2. It did actually work fine, but seemed to use lots of cpu. ie. nearly 40% per client (only running on a 486DX4 100). I moved over to the linux version and that works perfectly, with only about 10% cpu load per client. Can anyone explain the difference in CPU loads? (Same system and same version of qwsv each time). regards, Jeff --------------------------------------------------- Jeffery Bond <mailto:jeffbond@compuserve.com> <http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/jeffbond>; --------------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
