How does one run a timedemo, I thought there was a built-in?
Also, how does one record a demo ?

Drop console (alt+ctrl+` keys or add +seta com_allowconsole 1 to your d3
shortcut and normal ` key works console) and type "timedemo demo1" return
and it will run.

command "recordemo" in console and "stopdemo" maybe.dunno not tried yet
 
ctrl-alt-~ to open the console, then 'timedemo demo1'. Run it twice, as the
first run has no textures cached.

should be "recorddemo" and "stoprecording" i think
 
BTW at 1152x864 HQ w/noAA, I get 68fps in the timedemo.
This seems to be the sweet spot for my 6800GT + 2.3ghz athlonXP + 512mb
system. This nvidia card doesn't seem happy with AA enabled, but I did put
anisotropic filtering at 16x instead of 8x in the .cfg file, and noticed no
slowdown. Hitching when doors open seems minimal.

Drop the console and type: timedemo demo1

To setup an easy one-key console toggle, and display your FPS:

- create an autoiexec.cfg in base folder
- add the following lines:

seta com_allowConsole "1"
seta com_showFPS "1"
bind "`" "toggleconsole"

The tilda key will now toggle the console.

I hope you didn't call it autoiexec, its autoexec.cfg. That was a
typo.

yup, and as a matter as a fact you can exec any cfg file you like in the
menu to start the game you want with the settings you like, I had been
experimenting with the alpha for years now, its fun! just bring down the
console and use the old quake2 commands.
 
I get no sound when running the Timedemo on Demo1... Sound works fine
elsewhere.

Is this normal?
