It does seem to spike my CPU usage to the 80s and 90s, is it true that source doesnt make use of multiple cores at all?

tf2'll use 4-6 threads i believe, but most of the work is done on the first 2

#

this might be a case when having tf2 ignore core 0 via process lasso or something may be helpful

#

although i feel like cpu usage being spiked to 80-90% doesn't seem right, even with a 6-core system
