Minecraft was on a different. Weve always tried to keep PR on its own set of resources to ensure optimal performance. 
As for performance issues, it appears a few times a day our CPU usage is briefly reaching it's limit, which may or may not be causing the issue. Though we aren't virtualized, we do use OpenVZ containers, which are known to have much better performance over VM's, but I could still see it causing a slight performance loss over direct hardware access.
Assigning more cores wouldnt fix the problem as BF2 server can only use one core, so Im not sure if theres much we can do to improve this.

Well, OpenVZ is WHO give us LAG. 
The lag problem is 24hours.
When i hosted one public server, i tried KVM, OpenVZ, XEN and VMware vSphere. VMWare was who give me the best performance. I got the same lag with same maps when i tried kvm, openvz and xen. With VMWare, the server was the same performance running direct on the machine.
PRServer run in only one core. But remember, still have the SO and Mumble. So, i recommend 2 cpu for the PRServer box.
I know HOG have the server in reliablesite since 2013. May be is time to get a new machine with the same price. IF you consider to migrate to one new machine, choice the cpu by Single Thread Performance. Check this link: www.cpubenchmark.net/singleThread.html
I really recommend VMWare. It is free, stable and easy to build machines etc.
Sorry my poor english.

Really? I'm pretty surprised, I thought VMWare wouldn't have had good performance at all.
That is a good point about Mumble and the OS, so next time I get a chance I will add a core to that container and see if that helps. Usually our container manager (Proxmox) warns when a container's resources have been maxed out, and I haven't seen any warnings in a very long time.
It would be interesting to test out a VMWare setup. It's something I will also have to try if I can find the time for it.
