Yup. For a test, i ran the map "achievement_pyro_final" and added bots. Then players started to flood in. When i had my CPU clocked at 3.2GHz (stock) it lagged like hell. When i oc'ed it to 4.3GHz (just for test, never run servers with oc's you don't know if is stable or not) and it almost didn't lag.
