I guess I should have mentioned that this is a cloud server running on Rackspace. So it's virtualized, which is the most likely cause of the problem. It happened more when I had less memory, and when I upgraded it mostly went away. But larger numbers of people still cause stutters. What is the usual minimum RAM required to run srcds with ~8 people?
