If you have a dialup connection you might want to turn off
Half-life's in-game voice feature prevent lag.
If you do nothing else do this.....
custom.hpk is a file in your game directories (example: C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\youremail@you.com\counter-strike\cstrike\custom.hpk Once you find your cstrike folder, that's where it is. This file stores the spray decals of your various teammates and nefarious enemies. This file loads every time Half-Life loads into the game, and unfortunately, it never automatically empties itself of old, unused decals. As a result, if you frequent a lot of different servers with a lot of players, this file can quickly grow in size, anywhere from 5MB to 35MB+! As a result, load times in Half-Life can be slowed on even the fastest of machines. If you'd like to decrease your loading times, I suggest you delete this file (don't worry, Half-Life will make a fresh new one) delete it about every one to two weeks. This will keep its size down and your load times faster.
