"Long" story short: Doomworld Forums regular Ducon found a trick jump to a 
teleporter which effectively allowed you to skip all three keys for a 
speedrun here. So I was tempted to try it out.  I added a trick myself (the 
window jump), to allow for a pacifist run. It's possible to pass the imps 
without this jump, but it's much harder.

I got a 1:03 where I waited for the lift to rise because I thought it would 
be too hard to jump through the window on the way down. It turned out it 
wasn't really that much harder, just a little bit, so I made another run in 
0:57, with this improvement, but otherwise identical.

Then, Grazza told me that the switch you teleport to in the end (that gives 
access to the metro section) can be pushed from below, which of course 
shortens the run significantly.

So here's a THIRD speedrun, this time of the very quickest route. I hope. :-)
Actually, I still tried to use Ducon's trick jump here to get to the 200/200. 
You sort of have a free go at it while you're waiting for the wall to lower, 
so you might as well give it a try. I missed the jump here though, and had to 
do without armour and health, but I made it in anyway. This is only my 2nd 
exit, by the way, the first was a very low 0:36.

So, route credits to Ducon and Grazza. Thanks, guys!

Now I am DONE with this map. Pity that I didn't know about the switch trick 
when I made the max run. It could surely have saved some time.
