Hitch warning: 2174 msec frame time

I see that alot in my Server Console, sometimes with higher numbers, what is this, and is it bad that the time is so high?

Just something that happens when computer resources are given to other programs other then the server. Just move the console window around and you'll see them. I have the same thing om my SH server. Nothing to worry about unless they come often and with high numbers.

Hitch messages are pretty normal; basically indicating a pause in the main engine loop. Most of it happens when you load in a new map, restart maps, etc. when the game is busy doing other things. If you see this constantly while in the middle of gameplay, then something else is taking up time, e.g. client-side downloads, other programs running on the server or the server itself is overloaded.
