One thing we have noticed with our pub community, is that about 3 months ago valve released an update that reset everybodies rates to the following

 

rate = 10000

cl_cmdrate = 30

cl_updaterate = 20

 

This effectively KILLS the server. We run a 56 man and a 50 man SRCDS that are full 24/7, and we notice a LARGE LARGE LARGE increase in server performance when we convince the majority of players to fix their rates.

 

Valve dissallowed the ability to change the client's rates via serverside, so all you can really do is help explain to people to fix their own rates. I believe you'll see a major increase in performance.

 

I don't know if this is your exact issue, but it might be, check the rates of the majority of people when your server starts to fill.
