Lag issue

[Gudmo]

Although it's generally not felt when moving around ingame there is
considerable
lag issue with the linux server.

entering and exiting vehicles takes 2-3 seconds and I've seen guys pop in
and out because
they started to hammer the button.

Also accuracy is way out of whack because of the lag prediction code. To hit
with 9 in latency
you will have to imagine what it's like to have 300 in latency. (predict the
lag yourself!)

Third part are the connection problems on the server. I often get connection
problems messages
on screen even though the game doesn't haccup or shut down.
But then again it has also completely frozen at one time.

These seem to be the major issues with my server

ps. - I don't run the server with gdb since I need it to autorestart on
crash (Doesn't work with ingame commands in linux)
