the servers im running seem to have fluctuating variance. on map change, the var is at 0.15 to 0.20 msec. however, after a minute or 2, the var jumps up to 0.5 to 0.6. i've done a few tests with both sourcemod and without sourcemod enabled. all this is done sitting on an fresh empty server.
im starting to suspect that this is due to hyperthreading and there is another server on the other virtual core. if so is there anything i can do to improve the var? perhaps something to adjust how hyperthreading is handled?
specs are as follows:
2600k @ stock clock
8gb ram
128gb ssd (samsung 830)
