I thought the tutorial in the Hammer help file was pretty good for the subject. I guess I could've referenced it instead of including it though, heh.
I suppose I could remove it (or edit it so it's more clear)

One of the screens has a software display to list the r_speeds. Since it gives different output, someone seeing it for the first time could easily be confused. Bit of a hodgepodge of a tut, and lengthy at that. You should have stuck to one aspect of r_speeds and controlling them rather than trying to cram it all in.

Blimey, if I'd known those images would make their way into a tutorial I would've tarted them up a bit smiley Anyway, glad to be of use smiley

I think this tutorial contains good advice and is well presented. Yes, it tries to cover a lot, but at least you take the time to format it with headings etc. It's not overly rambling.

One thing that might have been mentioned was the gl_wireframe commands that you can use to find what objects are breaking up other objects when it's not obvious. Compile your map with -dev -console and the "Run Map" button checked. Once inside the map, type gl_wireframe 1 in console to see the ploygons that were used for the calculations. They should be nice and square. When you see a lot fo triangles that are leaning, this is a problem area. All in all, a good tutorial that explains the problem, how to "measure" it, and ways to fix it.

i dunno if this was mentioned, but its worth a note.. most of these screens are in softwaremode.. so if they are curious how to achive similar screens, use the r_drawflat 1 command..
