For me and others this seems to fix most of the lag or horrid performance issues. You should also change your video settings according to the GPU you have.

Code:
-noSplash -noPause -world=ChernarusPlus -cpuCount=8 -exThreads=7
What each command does:
- -noSplash : Disables the splash screen
- -noPause : When tabbed out of the game, it continues to run and doesn't pause
- -world=ChernarusPlus : Loads Chernarus Plus on startup, so you won't need to load it loading into a server.
- -cpuCount=8 : Forces the client the usage of all cores on your CPU. Change this to what matches your CPU!
- -exThreads=7 : Forces the client to use all threads on each core. Change this to what matches your CPU!
