Found this on another board. Some useful bits but I expect the experts know them:
Quote
All these can be run from the console , or better yet, set up a bind to turn on off.
fps [0|1] To turn off/on fps meter.
cl_run [0|1] To turn off/on autorun. Now, you may wonder why do this? well, ever want to sneak up on an enemy? DONT RUN - if you run they can hear you. I have pegged lots of people (especially in SNOW) becuase they could not hear me. Setting a key to turn this on / off would help keep you from having to hold the shift key and still work the WASD keys
ui_compass [0|1] To turn off/on the compass. For me, it gives me more screen real estate to watch for bobing heads while I snipe (not zoomed).
cg_forceModel [0|1] To turn off/on the forced models. Well, this was just fun to see, you can change this in an active game and see the players change right in front of your eyes (better do it when they are dead )
cg_lagometer [0|1] To turn off/on the neat little lag meter graph - kinda nice to watch for spikes and all.
logfile [0|1] To turn off/on a log file. This log file gets saved to MOHAA/main/qconsole.log. I found this a valuable tool in getting whole listing of the cmdlist and cvarlist variables.
com_maxfps ### To set your MAXIMUM FPS. Some say it helped to keep their FPS at a steady rate (might check to make sure its not at like, 60).
r_swapinterval [0|1] To turn off/on swap interval. Some say this is linked to vsync. On my NVIDIA TNT (WinXP), I turn this OFF (0). I gained 10-15 FPS , you can watch this live if you have FPS on.
You can always bind these to keys.

For example:
to bind the F8 key to hide/show the COMPASS , you can do the following:
open your console
type bind F8 "toggle ui_compass"
type bind F7 "toggle fps"
Thats it.

Any more useful bits greatfully recieved.
