Ah! Thank you, I'll try that for the next game I host.

You can create a seperate login to run games under, and set the systems paramters so that one login is only allowed a certain amount of CPU

also you can put nice in front of any command to set the amount of load it can have such as

nice ./dom2 -TSq --port X --mapfile map.map --other_settings --normai 0 --hardai 3 --impai 7 MyGame
Ah, yes it's not the server CPU load that's the problem, it's the client program, running in X. Using nice will just make it slower still. Maybe its a DRI issue, I'll have to look into it. I'm not sure I have my RadeOn card optimised in X yet.

Thanks for all your help - see you in a game sometime,
