I have exactly the same problem with my linux server.
In a first time i have thought it was due to the poor PIII 550Mhz, but now i am not sure.
Gudmo, what is your configuration please ?

        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)
