VDS lag at about 3 players.

[Velocity]

Alright so my VDS is a 3 core, 3 gigs of RAM VDS, but Garry's Mod is single threaded and I run a DarkRP server.

On my DarkRP server we start getting a lot of lag around 30 people, we will basically sit on 1 ticks a second while that happens.

The title should say 30 my bad typing.

30 people is actually a lot, you should try to set the limit to around 24 And 3gbs of ram is not a whole lot

IIRC you can use multi threading with Dedicated server, I don't remember the console commands though.

SRCDS is not built to be multi-threaded. Valve tried making SRCDS multi-threaded once and thrashed the idea after testing according to [url]http://srcds.com[/url]
On the other hand, SRCDS uses a [B]second thread[/B] to handle all the incoming network traffic.

I would really like to get a hand on those commands so I can have a look.

@OP, remove everything that has with rates (sv_maxupdaterate, sv_maxrate, sv_minupdaterate, etc) to do from your server.cfg and add [B]+tickrate 33[/B] to your server's startup params. This should lighten your server's load a little bit atleast.

It's perfectly enough to run a few servers. SRCDS doesn't use much RAM at all (Approx 400-600MB at most), but it's a CPU hungry beast.
