Defrag.

All of these things should help.

Indeed, I've done them all. Defragging helped the most (because that's where the textures are being loaded from), but it's still hanging for more than two seconds at some places. Very frustrating. I just learned that my copy of HL2 isn't updated because it doesn't recognize one of the new commands they implemented with the latest release.
