Jay is tha man! It is going to be critical to have Jay around<br>
for COD2. His R&D skills are impeccable. If he were in NY,<br>
as CTO of a technology firm, would hire him in an instant.<br>
<br>
Say hello to him at clanwarz.net!<br>
<br>
This is because the subject does not matter. I try to get<br>
guys that can analyze themselves out of a box all the time,<br>
hundreds of interviews and still always looking. And yea,<br>
we pay well.<br>
<br>
OK Jay. Spit it out. What did you change. I am not having<br>
major issues like 80% CPU, but UO FOY with all things a<br>
blazing and 20 users will bring one CPU to 80%.<br>
<br>
I currently run COD max_rate at 15000<br>
COD:UO max_rate at 25000<br>

What is the latest tweaked Cvars that made him a happy camper?<br>
