EDIT: Especially reduction in the stuttering and piss poor hit registration would be nice, for skulking mostly.

Otherwise since the game is on a new engine and not reusing an existing one, things will get better when NVIDIA and AMD tailor their drivers to it, as with all new engine games.
<ul><li>Decrease texture quality further</li><li>Decrease player model quality further</li></ul>
are there any console commands that one can use to increase performance? Performance in increasing FPS, reducing the stuttering and lags?
Thank you in advance.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Go to your nvidia/amd control panel and setup a profile for ns2. Select every option for the highest performance. Now launch Ns2 go to the options turn everything off except multicore support the rest put on the lowest setting. For the resolution select the lowest you can play at. Now join a full server game join a side and type R_stats in console. Read the Xms waiting for GPU. If this is above 0 then you have some graphics bottleneck. If it's at 0 then the bottleneck is all in your CPU. While in the graphics options you can read your FPS at the top right of the screen, you can use this is see how much fps you loose turning on graphics options like shadows and occlusions just make sure you hit the apply button.
If you're happy with the fps try playing afew games if not you need to go back over the above and make sure each setting is configured for the best possible fps. There will be some settings in your nvidia/amd control panel that you can tinker with ie I have a power managent mode if I don't have that set to max performance I get some jerking. This can take abit of effort to go through each setting when tweaking. Tweaking is some thing you do after you're happy with the fps but want alittle more out of it.
As for your question I believe there are other options to turn off via the console that aren't in the options but to make them permanent you need to change them in the game files. Other wise you have to keep entering them in each game. If doing all the above doesn't make a difference the only thing else you can do is overclock which is something I wouldn't advise doing if you've never done it before. Let me know how you go also posting your computer info will help for future reference.
things to note
if you change something in your control panel you need to restart the game for the changes to take effect
R_stats will also display your fps but having r_stats running while gaming will lower you fps by afew fps
to open your console hit the ` key located below the ESC key.
