Ok I tried this out on my map last night and most of my map is under the 30-60 (1/2 & 1/2) fps line and occansionally 1 sike over the 20 is I did something drastic in movements.
Is this good? In my other post re vis times someone mentioned load point file but there isn't one since I have no leaks - I see it mentioned her to load portal file - should I load this instead?

Well, it would probably help to get screenshots of the BAD areas. Looking at a good area is hard to give pointers on fixing the bad areas.
Make sure you DIDN'T func_static your walls, just trims.
Visportals (when you use console to show them) basically draw out areas in the airspace of your mission. They get split by 2 things.
1: brushes. So if you have a flat wall with a wood beam running up it's middle you will get 3 vis_leafs. One across the room where the pillar is and one on each side.
basically your one room has been split into 3 parts.
If you make that beam a func_static it will be one. You will see blue lines around each airspace (visleaf). Fewer is better.
2:grid lines. The red lines on the grid every 1024(?) make vis_leafs no matter what.
--------------------------
So first you need to make sure you don't have just a few huge vis_leafs (making all walls func_static would do this).
You need the walls to block views into other areas. Lots of corners helps.

I Love You!!!!!!!!
In case you don't know what they mean (I didn't until I tried it) I'm taking my torches and making them into func_details - look at all the nice blue lines disappearing !!!
