CPU Usage

[Saiyajin]

My clans UT3 server is using 17% CPU when idle on a Quad Core Q6600 4x 2.40+ GHz (Ubuntu 9.10).

How come? And is there any way to fix this or does it just use THAT much CPU?

Thanks in forward.

Umm maybe it might be because it doing tasks in the background but if so thats alot of work strange I can't help anymore.

But have you tryed looking at taskmanger to see whats using the processor?

Well there is a lot of other game servers using CPU of course, websites etcetera. But that doesn't matter.. UT3 = using 17% cpu alone, I don't think that is normal for a game, for example COD4 is only using like 1 or 2% CPU.. any idea what the cause of this can be or is this normal?

UT3 in heavly depended on the CPU but thats a Qaud core so it should only be 2 or 4%.

Going of UT3 I run GTA IV and that uses 13% even in desktop with game running still so.....

You'll have too wait for someone else to responed m8.

Yeah it should be max 5% or something. So does anyone got an idea why the CPU usage is so high?
