[bf1942] Bandwidth choke

[Sid Chrome]

Has anyone tried playing around with the renderer.lockfps setting on a
linux server? I know in the Windoze based server console you can
dynamically change this setting to dramatically increase (under light
load) the fps and correspondingly reduce the MSF time (to lie 3.2ms).

Actually I've got a spare linux box at the moment too, might go have a
crack.

Forwarded from a forum I frequent. Alas, I know just enough about the
server to bring it up but haven't really tinkered with it much, so I
don't know the answer. I'm trying to get details on how he's doing the
bandwidth measurement.
