But how though?
Simple question with a probably not simple answer.

I just wanna know what's so special about these settings that increase FPS.

The game is on a rather old version of Source, and as such it doesn't benefit from CPUs with more than one core or hyperthreading by default, it will cram as much processing as it can onto a single core, but with threading options enabled, it will try to take advantage of other cores, spreading the workload.

Source games are not optimized to do alot of the work on the graphics card, that thing only has to do the visuals, physics calculations and AI and all other physical processing is dumped onto the CPU.

So that is why i was able to freely spawn like, 50 barrels on top of each other.

Actually having a proper GPU can help so much in Source games lmao.
