Well. My box 1300 MHz AMD TB. Enough RAM. I'm alone on my lan and I
would wish the server would eat up more than 30-40% of CPU and therefore
the bots would be more intelligent.

I can run through a big group of bots and they don't even recognize me.

Is there a chance for more intelligent bots like the Windows ones I'm
used to? :)

My ping on the lan is 30-120 while the server doesn't even eat up 50% of
my CPU.

My first test was pretty good beside the bots intelligence. For coop
playing I will prefer a Windowslistenserver. :)
