Syns FPS Booster v1.001 by Synthetic

===========================
Info
===========================
This program enables a high precision multimedia timer in Windows to allow higher then default tic rates in HLDS. It uses barely any resources and is a better alternative to the solution provided by Valve as found here (https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=5386-HMJI-5162) way down at the bottom of the page. Anyway, it's nothing fancy and just loads into the systray. Right click the systray icon to exit.

===========================
Requirements
===========================
- Some flavor of NT or Windows XP/Server 2003/etc/etc
- Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package

BTW, that's just the base. If anyone wants the whole Visual Studio project crap (about 8mb), let me know.

One more thing, even though the -pingboost option is supposed to be for Linux only, I found that it did make a difference with performance as well on Windows, most notably when the server was filling up 20+ players. In my case with Win Serv 2003 setting pingboost to 2 worked the best but could be different for others. It's probably a good idea to fool around with it 1,2,or 3 and see what you get when the server is full. Setting it to 3 gave massively shit server FPS dipping down to 30 below and CPU usage spiked insanely.
