Fps help plz

I usually use gl, but recently tested sw. The problem is, when i play in gl i get 30fps, but when i play sw i still seem to get 30fps !?
I guess there's something wrong with my config, and I'm looking for a way of possibly getting more fps in gl, as 30 is poor. I use an amd 350 with a voodoo2, which is possibly a limiting factor, however i would be surprised if that's the cause.
If you know how i can scrape a few more fps i'd be very grateful.

2 commands in QW limit your fps.

rate, and cl_maxfps

rate controls max fps if cl_maxfps is 0.

if your on a modem btw, you'll flood your connection and lag out with over 40 fps, unless using qizmo (http://qizmo.sci.fi), which can compress the data, or filter packets. The readme explains all that tho.

put these commands in ure cfg:

r_shadows "0"
gl_playermip "4"
gl_polyblend "0"
gl_flashblend "1"
r_mirroalpha "1"
gl_ztrick "1"

launch glqwcl with the following commandline, adjusted to suit your needs:

c:\quake\glqwcl.exe -nocdaudio -noipx -nojoy -heapsize 32323 -bpp 16 -width 512 -height 384

if this doesnt work try adding the parameter -window. i need this to get 512x384 to work on a voodoo1 (dont worry, the output still appears as fullscreen)
