Does it happen during single player and multi player? Does it happen only when there are large amounts of zombies on the screen?

It happens in multiplayer and it happens when theres a large number of zombies or when im just staying still.

Well look who it is! :P

Some of the ingame lag can be caused by multicore gpu rendering problems (often seen with stuttering sound and freezes)

In the developer console (press ` or set this to enabled in the keyboard options) type in :

mat_queue_mode 0

see if that improves things
