OP: I very roughly read through this thread.
I had the same performance issues you have, and I had similar issues.
* Virtualization. Now I'm on VMWare ESXi, which is completely fine. We need for monitoring.
* Bad CPU. My CPU was even a bit better than your CPU, but now I'm on a i7-4770S @ 3.10GHz and it handles 4 fairly populated servers just fine; var doesn't go above 0.3.
Generally speaking, you want a CPU that can perform the best in single-threaded benchmarks, for optimal SRCDS performance.
See this:

Basically everything above 2.1k here should be good to go for around 24 slots/128tick. Make sure your rates are configured properly though, for maximum performance - this isn't related to CPU usage.

A 4 GHz one like the 4790K or 6700K may do the 32 players, but there are definitely no guarantee for your satisfaction.

64 tickrate isn't a solution for OP as they run a multi1v1 server; players simply won't join their server if it's not 128 tickrate.
