Oh yer the ut2k3 demo had "issues" but its turned out pretty good now. Q3 is
indeed pretty good not tried SOF2 in anger so cant comment. I would be really
interested to do some more indepth analysis of both our expriences, if you
have the time. I've got all our stats in a db and have rrdtool graphs generated
from them too. HL doesnt seem, on our servers, to have a true idle state which
I was conserned about, but then ignored thinking it was the norm.

Anyhow if you do have some time and are interested pop into #mpukhosting
for a natter.
