Getting the most out of a outdated pc?

Im going to start by saying this is a outdate box(xbox) I'm saying that because its specs are lowish compared to the current average specs most pcs have. Also this is for personal use on my LAN, and for people to join from the net. It is being used as a counter-strike 1.6 server right now and its 14 players and 8 of those are bots. I also have a 5mbps download and 1mbps upload connection. I am also running GentooX linux.

XBOX Specs: Specs

My problem is that my ping is around 25 sometimes others 15 if I get lucky for a few seconds. I dont know whats going on, if I make a server on a normal pc my ping is ranges from 0 - 5 at worst 10. Could it be my proccess eating up the ram?

I can't realy upgrade the ram without going threw to much trouble, and I dont think making more swap space would work if I could do that.

I need some advice to make my box work better than it currently is.

I've attached a image for more help.
