I see you have two identical hard drives. What happens if you install the game to your other drive? Or, since the issue is triggered by saving the game, if you just move the save folder to the other drive? This would rule out a hard drive issue.
To move the save folder, it's probably easiest just to move the entire Documents folder. Here's how you do that: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/redirect-folder-new-location#1TC=windows-7
Well, I tried it, and unfortunately it made no difference ☹️

@zalako Do you actually have 2 separate hard drives, or do you have one which is partitioned into two? Not sure how that would show up on a dxdiag, but given their odd sizes and identical model, I thought it was worth checking. If you have one hard drive partitioned, moving the save folder unfortunately won't rule out an issue with the hard drive.

One drive, partitioned in two.

@zalako Then, as @Fred_vdp said, it's possibly an issue with your hard drive causing the lag, possibly combined with your GPU, which isn't really intended for games like this. Makes it a bit tricky to test, since you don't have another hard drive to try it out with.
Out of curiosity, the version of the game you tried earlier, your friends version on disk, was that on your computer? And did it include the Trespasser DLC? Trespasser does tend to increase the demand on hardware, so computers which could play the base game with no issues can have troubles running it with Trespasser installed (unlike the other DLCs, Trespasser influences the entire game, not just the DLC area). Have you tried lowering your graphics settings, to see if that makes any difference?
