The game is Company of Heroes + Blitzkrieg mod. BK mod adds more units, explosions effects and many other cpu intensive tasks which makes it very cpu demanding. It is very interesting that when it starts to lag the framerate is 57fps+ meaning it's no video card type lag. It's cpu stutter type lag.
As you can see from this first video, at the begging of the game when few units on the field its smooth as butter. (Youtube decreased the video quality of the video, probably because i compressed the video but you can see the difference)

But when more units show up meaning more cpu tasks, the stutter starts to show up. You can see that the fps is very good 50+, without fraps is 57+ so it's not the video card based lag, you can see how little the video card is used ~20%, the cpu is ~50% but thats because of fraps, without it its a lot less and only one core is used more than the rest.

Why did i posted in the Overclocking section, well because on the lag video the cpu is at 3.5 GHz no turbo boost activated, but when i OC the CPU to 4.7Ghz/1.3V i get maybe 40-50% smoother gameplay when many units on the field.
BUT it's still not enough, i still dont get buttery smooth gameplay as in the beginning of the game, so my question is, is there any other way besides OC to speed up the CPU speed or other methods so i can get smooth gameplay the entire game? Or do i need a 6ghz CPU for this particular mod? Some one suggested it might be that i dont have enough ram, but i don't understand why when i OC the CPU i get a performance increase, it has nothing to do with ram, also there are only 4gb used out of 8, what happened with the rest?
Thanks
