[cod] 1.41d ... server CPU load fixes.

[Luke]

Ryan,

Amazing turn around time on that. Thanks so much for going above and
beyond. Since this isnt really a 'linux' issue you could've just
said 'take it up with Gray Matter'.

I loaded the new binaries and they do appear to reduce the CPU load
quite a bit - at least on an empty server (hey it is only 8am!). My
dual-xeon went from a 5% cpu usage on an empty 30 person server to
0-2% usage. Looks promising!
