Well, not much to say really. 2 seconds improvement. This came rather quickly, but 
I suspect I was just very lucky. My attempts varied greatly, mostly between 0:24 and 
0:29. My best attempt was a near flawless run (0:21 with 94% kills, i.e. 1 monster 
alive). I also had an 88% kill 0:22, and several 94% kills 0:23 and 0:24 exits. In 
this demo, I waste a little time at the very ending, and the time is about 25.5 or 
thereabouts.
 
Taking into consideration my best attempts, this demo/time, and how this demo 
looks, I'd say it's time to adjust the optimal time estimate down to ... 0:19?

More route improvements this time, from the 0:27. The beginning is quicker (although 
I slightly screw up the plasma ammo pick-up). I was thinking of maybe going for at 
least 0:24 but I'll leave it to someone else. To tell you the truth, I'm fed up with 
this map; it's not very interesting to begin with, and I believe it's gotten far 
more attention than it deserves. So, good luck with 0:24 and lower. :-)

Thanks again go out to Grazza, whose cheated eq08x025.lmp showed me the wisdom of 
opening the imp door early on. Now it's back to "Eternal DooM" (map 20 took me an 
eternity to complete, damn!).
