Check your cpu usage while playing, guarantee it's not 100%, unless you're doing something horribly wrong. I even have physics set to CPU and have never seen the game go over 20% cpu usage regardless of the situation.
I've also never overclocked my CPU because it has never once gone over 50% usage with any game I've played, or anything I've done.
