ok on the steam powered forums someone posted a way to stop stuttering (except for when it autosaves)
here i is
With this, you won't have stutter (only autosaves, but it's just a second or two). Follow this steps:
- Download and install GCFScape from http://countermap.counter-strike.net/Nemesis/ (it must be 1.2.4 version).
- Run GCFScape and extract all the "hl2" folders of the .gcf files to your "half-life 2" folder (BTW, they are +3Gb, make sure you have enough space in your HD).
- Create a new one or edit your autoexec.cfg file and add this: ai_norebuildgraph "1"
That's all!
Now play this great game without stuttering.

All i know i did it and it did work for me...
and for those people who thinks it is illegal... it isnt
you are not modifing any of the files just extracting the gcf files.
Which esentially what the game does anyways.. why do you think that your drive gets fragmented so quick... its all of those extract/deletes the game does... it extracts what it needs then deletes the files when it no longer needs them
when you do the process above the game will use the uncomressed files and will not remove them when done with it
my take is when it was extracting the data and then deleting it does create system load and could force your computer to reach its limits hence causing stuttering
