[bf1942] Jerky lag on linux servers

[Bart Bockhoudt]

Strange, setting your stdout to /dev/null doesn't make the server produce less output, it only bins it.

Maybe you did something strange with your screen terminal, try:
> screen -m -d ./bf1942_lnxded

Subject: [bf1942] Jerky lag on linux servers

Tonight we had a practice match, and decided to play on my linux server 
(1ghz, 512mb ram etc), im running the server in a "screen" window, maybe 
that matters. (attached and detached was the same)

It was very weird, we all had pings in the 40'ies, server cpu usage was at 
33%, and ram usage was at 27%, but everyone had extreme jerkyness and lag, 
the problem appeared right around when the 16'th player joined, and the 
fighting heated up. I noticed that the server console is being extremely 
spammed when there is fighting going on, so i tried starting the server 
with "./bf1942_lnxded >/dev/null" where i direct the console output to the 
void.. and it helped immensly.

Hope this will help others
