Sorry about the duplicate posts.

I kept getting errors while posting but didn't realize they'd actually been accepted.

Welcome back UnrealAdmin.org!

Azazel, I know it seems like there shouldn't be anything else going on, but that's not the case in the vast majority of systems.

Services get timeslices for all sorts of reasons. Hopefully they shouldn't require a great deal of CPU time. But the idea is to structure the rules so the system can run the apps you would want it to choose when questions occur. Isn't it?

I believe he was talking about running 3 game servers from the same box.

the reason i ask is that the answer to that Q would affect how i assign my 3 servers to each CPU.

eg, if the OS is handled by both CPU's then i can load balance the 3 2k3 servers over both CPU, BUT if the OS is handled by CPU 1, then i could load balance by only putting 1 server on CPU1 and the other 2 on CPU2

or i could dimply use the firedaemon tick boxes and specify that all 3 servers use both CPU's

thanks for the info so far
If there were only one game server process competing with the OS for time, I could agree. But with 2 or more game server processes, I still maintain that prioritization and dynamic CPU allocation are the best way to maximize UT CPU usage.

Just a follow-up to 50BMG concerning pre-loading sys files. I use WinGuides Tweak Manager... one of the tweaks is as follows:

Quote:
Improve Core System Performance (Windows NT/2000/XP) Popular
On systems with large amount of RAM this tweak can be enabled to force the core Windows system to be kept in memory and not paged to disk.
Now, as to exactly how much of a performance boost (if at all) I haven't analyzed using benchmarks.

But, the Tweak Manager does provide many useful tweaks which are normally performed by editing the registry (hassle) or using security policy applet.
