[bf1942] Are you using the 64-bit server much?

That is slightly different.
I'm having a trouble (shown in below) on 64bit SMP system.
But it seems that 64bit SMP is not popular, and I can't find any server admins
who operate 64bit version on SMP system without problems.
See "[bf1942] bf2 linux server on smp system" thread on this ML.

Yes.

At starting up server, console shows "Average FPS:  34".  Plz see followings.

But after several map changes (or after several hours), console shows 
followings.
And the server is very lagging while shows "Average FPS:   1", even if some 
players
are playing.
