Hello, so I've been fiddling around with threading commands and such, and my results have been pretty inconclusive as to what is the best. I've seen mat_queue_mode 1 is for dual cores, yet I get better FPS with 2, and that some of the r_threaded/r_queued commands are bad unless you have a quad core, but I've disabled and re-enabled all of them together or separately and I've yet to see a difference.
My CPU is a i5-i5200u, clocked @2.2ghz and seems to hit 2.6ghz with Turbo Boost. Has 2 Cores, and 4 Threads.
I've been having weird FPS issues for a good while now and I think I've narrowed it down to this stuff.
The best settings for dual cores seem to vary somewhat by source so I'm making this for help.
EDIT: What I've found gives the best boosts is outside of combat zones where I can actually switch them - once I get into combat it always, no matter what, config or not, drops to 45 FPS. Dunno why.

@mastercoms believes that these are fine:
cl_threaded_client_leaf_system 1
r_threaded_renderables 1
r_threaded_particles 1
mat_queue_mode 2
r_queued_post_processing 1 (if your GPU is fast enough to work with it)
Disable these on 2 core:
r_threaded_client_shadow_manager 0
r_queued_decals 0 (disabled anyway for even 4 cores due to stability issues)
r_queued_ropes 0
