hi,

I'm pretty sure this is not a SM issue. And I know that days of TF2 fame have passed. But still I am asking for help

so I run a public TF2 server on a pretty good hardware (i5-2400S) with 100Mbit/s up/down internet. But most of the time game looks choppy, meaning it feels like FPS is about 15-20 (all moves are jerky and aren't natural). Sometimes it looks better, sometimes worse. The best I see just after server restart. I can't figure out what it depends on. It feels bad even when it is empty in the end of the day (as if it is tired after playing); so I restart it and moves become natural again.

First of all my question is: Is it possible to make TF2 server run smoothly at all (for at least 24 players)?
