[cod] hitch warnings

[Jase]

that was my general take on them but with a CoD 32 man server i never 
see them except maps changes whatnot. With the UO server i see them in 
groups of 4 or 5 all through out the map usually around 700-1100 ms. 
Disabling the vehicles didnt seem to help. lowering the max players from 
32(w/4 priv) to 28(w/4 priv) didnt help much either. I ended up stopping 
the serevr and restarting it that helped alot.
Thanks for the reply tho

>>i get hitch warnings sometimes.  the time it gives is usually the number of milliseconds of lag the server experienced.  players may or may not notice it.  i'd give you my system specs but it wouldn't relate well cuz its a gimpy 3 year old laptop running a LAN dedicated server :)
