Hi, I run a very popular counter-strike source server which plays surf maps only, a LOT of the regular players suggested I put the CSSDM mod on the server so I have, and I have found that it makes severly high loads on the server.
The system is as follows:
Intel Pentium 4 2.8GHz HT
1024MB PC2700 DDR Memory
2x 74GB Western Digital Raptor HD's in RAID1
18 slot server running @ 33tickrate
I have tried to optimize the CSSDM config for best performance, like instant ragdoll removal etc, I've totally taken out the primary weapons menu since the maps have weapons lying around anyway, yet with 12 players currently in the server, srcds_i686 is using 20% CPU and 8% memory. Withouth the DM mod, the full server (18 players) normally never uses over 10% CPU and 5% memory.
