Recently, I've been told that if a server stays on the same map without ever reloading (24/7 server), that it would use cache and cause stuttering eventually. Seemed like something someone made up but wanted to make sure if it was true and that a server that play the same map over and over should reload the map at every game end instead of just restarting the game. It's hard to objectively say there is stuttering since the netgraph stays just the same but some reported they could feel it.

Thanks!

Not sure about CSGO, but CSS has always had massive stuttering when a map has been on for several hours

Not sure about CSGO, but the source engine shits itself if the map has been on for over 2^16 seconds (which is something like 18.2 hours). It should still work fine, and I guess it's a case of YMMV.

Best fix is probably to make a plugin that reloads the current map once every 6 or 12 hours, and only when the server is empty (i.e. don't interrupt a game).

I had a dust2 24/7 on csgo , and the server will lag so bad after a few hours so yes changing map does make it better

Thanks a lot for the answers, will work on a plugin for this (or get help with it), should be quite simple and could explain why there was some stuttering sometimes.
@Potato if you can help me with one hit me up but I think I have a better way of doing it that dosen't require having no players on, we'll see if it can work!

I'm pretty sure all Valve games have this issue.
