[Feature Request] Limit cl_cmdratre for spectators (on the client only)
Capping cmdrate to 51 (or even 34) for spectators should improve reg on packed servers and those that choke with higher player numbers, and should save a decent amount of bandwidth for players as well. On my standard config I push around 20KB/s up down, while capping at 34 brings that down to only a few kilobytes a second, in-out, so about an 80% reduction in total bandwidth.
As a spec I don't notice any difference but I do run interp at 0.03, which I think is the only sane value and should be the default, but that is another topic.
What are your thoughts? should it be a seperate CVAR (cl_speccmdrate) or is it a bad idea?
