Dude if you cannot run 500 slots on a dual quad core system you need to get out of the business. That is probably why you cannot make a profit at a $1.00 a slot.
CPU usage and RAM are not the limiting factors it is bandwidth. The server could run more than 500 slots but we would get hit with bandwidth overage fees. You have to be smart about which games you load on the server. Like Motor said with AA you would be lucky to get 200 slots to run, just because of the RAM requirements.
What I stated is we found the command line commands, we have not gotten them to work yet, but we have been able to reduce the CPU load on a full server to 15% which is still way too high
When Far Cry 1 was released, it also had a high CPU usage issue. That problem was solved by a player not Ubi. If you are waiting on Ubi to patch it good luck with that.
We will come up with a fix if someone does not beat us to it. When we fix it, we will post the solution. We are not like some who would keep it a secrete. We have been helped by too many TCAdmin forum members to try to screw people over for $
