1) If it's a dedicated server, the game lags like hell. Kuroneko has been testing a scripting patch that looks like is fixing it.
2) Some people just shouldn't host servers, whether their computer just plain sucks or their connection sucks.

I've had more than 3 or 4 people on my server without a severe increase in lag times. And that was before I started fixing scripts.

There's an extreme memory leak though that'll cause it to lag to hell. It will add 10MB/sec to the HLDS size until it reaches a Gig, flip back to 16mb, cause HLDS to take up 50-80% resources for another 2 minutes (ie. lag to hell), and then crash.

It does this every half-hour or so with the Central base running, maybe less often without, but others without the Central database have been repoting similar things (J-M) with the same "Memory Error
Out of Memory. Couldn't Allocate New Block" error...

As such it maybe the HLDS is causing the Central base to crash, rather than the reverse.
