hello!

I am running Ubuntu 8.04.1 with kernel 2.6.24-19.

I am having strange problems with HLDS (Half life dedicated server). The response time of the server (ping) is spiking up for a little while and then goes down to the usual again.
I heard that it could spike like that when switching cores so i made a script that separates the hlds processes on the cores when starting but no luck there.
I also tried to increase the priority of the hlds processes but no luck there either.
It seems to be no network problem and i have an exact same server where it is the same problem.
Anybody know i can find where the problem is?

cheers
