1. 35 fps is quite decent thank you very much.
2. If by loading you mean using 100% of your CPU, why should it matter? Nothing else should be actively running anyway EDIT: FRAPS (or such) would be an exception, however in this case you should set cl_capfps to 1
3. Unless you are overclocking your CPU it will not overheat if consistently used at or near 100%. I have a textbook that states this and find it to be completely true from experience.
