The Vmware solution uses a lot more CPU power then the Linux bins
version. When I compare my COD4 linux bins with my COD5 Vmware version
it is 25 % against 5 % in idle state on a low power Intel Atom 230 1,6
GHz board. I didn't notice any lag while playing on the server.
My Vmware COD5 server is online so if you want to try it be my guest:
cod.blutch.nl:28961 (http://www.blutch.nl)
Is there anyone with a Wine version online?
