i was tried in our 32 player servers with NetServerMaxTickRate=25 and really all the people have a more lower ping, 15 or 30 less, the server run really smooth and the player experience is perfect. The CPU load difference is the same more o less.
Server NetServerMaxTickRate=25 and lower pings

NetServerMaxTickRate is how many "frames" an Internet server operates at. It is an important setting in that it will affect CPU usage. Some admins will set this higher believing that it improves ping but that is nonsense. Also, higher tick rates will influence the power of weapons such as the pulse cannon and minigun in a noticeable way.

No, Epic say that "Higher values will reduce ping". This is the epic opinion:""It sets the maximum tick rate (frames per second) of the server. By default it is 20, which means that servers will tick at 20 fps. This is a good compromise value, since it keeps server cpu utilization low without having a significant impact on ping or physics. Higher values will reduce ping, but increase server cpu utilization, and vice versa for lower values"- Steve Polge @ EPIC
in our case really improves ping and i dont noticed any other effects: no more cpu load -probablly a 3 or 5%- and nothing weapons difference, the server run really smoother and i was asked to the players in our forums and all people say that the server run perfect and the're very happy for the ping decrease.Really a increment from 20 to 25 i dont think that is a higher increment.

the more ticks a second a server calculates its info. The faster it will calculate teh information of all users once they've come in. This can save alot in the total time of sending your info to the server and getting it back.

I did a search for NetServerMaxTickRate and that's what came up over at here http://wiki.unrealadmin.org/Main_Paged3lux3 said:

Uhmmm... it's talking about Windows98, blazing P-2 350MHZ, fancy 64kbit isdn lines and a state-of-the-art 9600 modem. Sure that this stuff applies today? Back then the latencies were big anyway (remember modem play?), no way near today's pings with DSL and T1...Eversmann said:
