DoD Source Tweaking

The majority of this list found can be found here. YMMV
I ran the below list blind (mat_bloom is unknown, mat_bloomshade appears though).
Test System Specs:
- AMD XP2800+
- 512MB
- ATI 9200 256MB
- SB mp3Live!
- 1024x768
- DX9 software
I roughly estimated a 25% increase in fps. I noticed immediately while watching the showbudget graphs that new sounds spike the fps negatively and I am aware of a pre-load setting that is supposed to set everything in memory on the map load rather than as needed at first encounter within the game. I'll go look for that shortly and try it out.
Included are some screencaps
