Gems are for encrusting to make things look prettier at a jewelers: http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/Gem


Lag happens, especially when using a large area. DF is the greatest stress test on your computer. There will be lag, and there will be a lot of it.

Considering the second, depends on what word 'large' means, there were several reports of freeze lags on embark sites that exceed certain size. Those lags are caused by the limits of 32-bit architecture or something, and cannot be ridden of for now.
Try using smaller areas, if I recall correct, 4x10 works fine on sufficiently powerful processors (just like yours).
