Vincenzo 说:Indeed, the reason of the high ping is the CPU.
Since the server is single threaded it will only use one core of your quadcore, so at 25% CPU usage it is ctually maxed out, also the Q6700 is quite a old processor so it has less power per mhz then newer type CPU's.
For this reason we run the official eu server on a new type processor (I7 2600k) which we also overclocked to 4.4 ghz to make sure each single core has enough power to run 200 active players with only double their ping.
Im already looking into getting a newer processor.
The i7 3770K, it should be here pretty soon, but for now im limiting the number of slots on the server(s).
