hmm i stopped and waited... i got a 3200 with a GF6800 gt and i waited for 18 minutes on 62%... whilst optimizing O.o nah started normal BF 2 then lol..  after that it worked also on spec ops...

my tip be sure that BF 2 normal and SF have the same options be cause the key bindings are converted from BF 2 normal. BUT the Graphics settings are not

Clearing Shader Optimizations: When you change the graphical settings BF2 attempts to optimize the shaders used in the game for the best performance on your particular hardware. These optimized files are stored in your \Documents and Settings\[username]\My Documents\Battlefield 2\mods\bf2\cache\ directory. If you've changed your settings several times, I recommend you finalize your changes, close BF2, go to the above directory and delete everything under the \cache\ directory. The next time you start the game and play single or multiplayer, your shaders will be optimized again. Close BF2 one more time, defragment your hard drive, and now things should be much smoother and load much faster the next time you go to play BF2.
source is this tweakguide. special forces shaders are located \Documents and Settings\[username]\My Documents\Battlefield 2\mods\xpack\cache. i know it is a long procedure, but you will see, at the end, its worth it.
