This performance drop is probably due to the lack of optimization in Source, Not your PC, I could be wrong though.
Try 4/8, You shouldn't lose too much quality in visuals and you'll definitely get a boost in performance.
I once did a few tests and a lightmap of 1 absolutely killed my performance, Whilst 4 ran smoothly.

Indeed there is much less lag to 4. Thank you. In addition, the result is not too bad.

It's so true >:(
So...
Here's a little preview of the work accomplished on Hammer.
Sorry but I do not want to show the result in-game at the moment.
BIG THANKS TO IMAGESHACK.US FOR REMOVED ALL PICTURES!

I've encountered the same issue when i had the lightmap scale on 2 in the prison cell area in my bunker.
Surely nice shadows but unplayable if there are dynamic lights.
I used a value of 4 then on a few surfaces and 8 for the most parts there which gave an visually aceptable result while remainig playable.
You could try env_projectedtexture, not sure if this will be better performance wise though.

It is playable but when there is an explosion on Goldeneye that create a orange dynamic light.
So dynamic light in a dynamic shadow is too much for source engine.
