[bf1942] Linux server status report: 2003-03-31

I think what he is saying is that moving from the single threaded I/O may
have fixed the "Bungee" effect that is why they can not reproduce it. I
could be wrong, but that is what it looks like to me.

This is somewhat of a concern, since this is the single showstopper bug for
most of us. Have you been able to reproduce it in the *current* 1.31 server
we're all using?

For me, it does seem to take a few players on before it is noticeable. By
the time 4 or so people are on, it is quite noticeable for me.

Perhaps it is bandwidth/latency related as well? Maybe it wouldn't show up
in a LAN game (although I assume you have some way of testing
lower-bandwidth connections in your lab)?
