-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!

Find the line:
Code:
mouseSmoothing=1
and change it to
Code:
mouseSmoothing=0
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.
