Compaq Workstation W8000 a hlds

Ahoj, mam velmi specificky problem: rozjet na stroji Compaq W8000 nekolik hlds pro hru counter strike. Stroj je vybaven jednim procesorem Pentium 4 Xeon 2.2GHz, 1.5 GB RAM, 100 Mbps sitovkou, a nejakym scsi radicem (Adaptec AIC-7899) a diskem.

Na onom stroji jsme meli nainstalovan Debian ve stable verzi s distribucnimi jadry 2.4.27, 2.6.8, dale pak Gentoo linux s vlastnim jadrem 2.6.17 a 2.6.18. Binarky hlds jsme meli nainstalovane nejnovejsi ze steamu. A vysledek? Dva hlds, celkem 32 lidi, zatez systemu 60 - 90%, hraci vecne v lagu. Pro srovnani: ty same hlds na celeronu 1.2 GHz bezi v pohode, nehlede na to, ze na pentiu 4 by mely bezet v pohode ctyri/pet hlds...

Na stroji s xeonem jsme zkouseli ruzne "benchmarky" (openssl speed, hdparm -tT /dev/sda, kopirovani pres FTP) a stroj dava takove teoreticke vysledky, jake se od nej ocekavaji. Ale kdyz se spusti hlds, tak vykon kompu je nekde v...

Konfiguroval jsem jadro, konkretne sekci Processor type and features. Podle ruznych doporucenich z netu (jak nakonfigurovat jadro pro low latency hlds) vypada konfigurace nasledovne:

Zkousel jsem tam upravovat CONFIG_HZ_1000 na CONFIG_HZ_250 (nebo 100) a CONFIG_PREEMPT_BKL na CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY (nebo NONE), ale zadny viditelny efekt to neprineslo.

Mate nekdo s timto pripadem zkusenosti? Poradite mi, prosim? 2 hlds pro celkem 32 hracu by mely mit na tom stroji cca 20% zatez systemu a ne nekde mezi 60 a 90% :-(
