The standard tool for diagnosing FPS drops is vprof. I can't find any directions on the wiki, so here's a 5 second explanation:
Run the "vprof" command to start collecting. Run it again to stop collecting. Then you can view the data with vprof_generate_report. For example: http://privatepaste.com/fa039d0b7d If it's an issue with the game you'll see peak frame times over 15ms, otherwise there's a bottleneck somewhere else, such as the single core clock or other factors on the server.
