So we were discussing last night with SCOUT and Muzik++ about how the game keeps giving poor FPS after so many years that it was released, I think that the game is not well optimized and some times it does not work so well with some video cards or recent drivers, I have a high end computer and was having some massive FPS drops at the point that the game freezed for a couple of seconds, I fixed this issue by setting r_primitives to 2 which is how the game renders the graphics ( "0" is auto select, "1" is single gldrawelements, "2" is multiple gldrawelements). Anyways I still felt like it was kinda laggy even when I had 125 FPS stable , after some testing I figured that some of the settings I used back then in my config were messing with my actual video card and I had to re-write a new cfg and guess what it works flawlessly now! So in case you're experiencing some weird fps drops and want to improve your game performance here's a link with the ET cvar list and a brief explanation for each of them. -> CLICKHope it helps. Cheers!

Try tinkering w/ r_subdivisions, when I set it to 999, it helps w/ the fps at the expense of graphics.

Thanks for the link, Torbuck mentioned some FPS problems yesterday but I didn't know the commands to play around with , hopefully he'll see this or I'll direct him this way next time I see him

I think on Qaw its set to its default value.
