CPU hogging (Was: [mohaa] Why is it so quit overhere)

It seems it grows enormously with the amount of players for some 
reason.... With 8 players it hardly consumes 10% CPU

Here's my top with a full spearhead server (16 players) and just 5 
players on the MOHAA server
Both servers were restarted this morning...
As soon as both servers are filled to the max the box starts lagging 
like an asthmatic ant :(

There are a few other things running but no (other) CPU hoggers as you 
can see.

Just for the record, with full 100Base-T to the Net, network bandwidth 
is not the issue here.

I wonder if Ryan has some results from the oprofile already.....
