The Linux kernel has a scheduler resolution of 10 milliseconds. This 
means latency without the HZ kernel patch, which, coincidentally, Linux 
2.5 now uses and RedHat already ships with in their 2.4 kernel.

This is not a bug in Unreal. If you want your server to use less CPU, it 
will have more latency, which shouldn't be shocking.
