I am assuming these servers are on a managed VDS or dedicated server? You can try enabled muli-threading via the "managed" tab in your control panel. Under load this can usually reduce the load.

68% overall CPU usage is enough that many times you will see slowdowns in game servers on a VDS, as what you see in the control panel is a 5-minute average, and there will be some spikes in usage to much higher than that on a finer-grained scale. You should definitely look at tweaking their configurations or upgrading the VDS.

It is a 3-core managed VDS, normally when all 3 servers are full, it never goes beyond 50-55%. I will try to enable multithreading when they are empty, not sure if multithreading restarts the server.

Not sure if this plays a factor but has your game servers been up for a while?


Also the load could be high because it captured the overall usage during a map change.
