This is the Performance TFC package I put together ages ago, that believe it or not people still ask me for. Decided to write this post to make everything easier to find.
Performance TFC (http://files.filefront.com/performance+tfc2zip/;9621744;/fileinfo.html)
It's a collection of models and textures that I compiled (I did not create any of it) to improve my FPS. Instructions on where the files go is all inside the zip, as well as a caution to backup any customizations you don't want to lose - mainly custom textures and player models.
Also I get asked about an autoexec I put together even earlier, of which there are two versions: one very large and bloated, one slimmed down to only the commands that actually affect the performance problem.
Here's the smaller one; the HL video settings will give you the highest boost, the OpenGL settings may help, and the rest is just recommendations that have no bearing on FPS:

cl_lw 1 // enable client-side (lagless) weapon animations and sounds.

Lower than 12 will cause choppiness, but 15 may be great for some slow connections. Cable and DSL connections may like 30-40, unless there are too many players on the server. FOr lan games, use 50.

s_distance 60 // adjusts the ratio of game units to meters - affecting velocity, positioning, and distance. The higher this number, the closer everything gets (in audio terms). Valid range is 0 to infinity. [Flags: a]
s_doppler 0 // adjusts doppler effect - this setting is very sensitive which is why it is disabled by default. Valid range is 0 to 10. [Flags: a]
s_eax 0 // enable EAX support (0 may improve performance) [Flags: a]
s_geometry 1 // A3D 2.0 only. enables geometry rendering on/off. When disabled (0), geometry is not processed at all.
s_max_distance 1000 // Maximum distance from the listener before rolloff is no longer applied. Valid range is s_min_distance to infinity [Flags: a]
s_min_distance 8 // Minimum distance a source will be from the listener before rolloff is applied to it. Sources with a value lower than s_min_distance will play at full volume. Valid range is 0 to s_max_distance. [Flags: a]
s_numpolys 200 // A3D 2.0 only. Maximum polygons to be rendered. Polygons will stop being rendered either when there are no more polygons left or s_numpolys polygons have been rendered. Setting this to 0 is the same as turning s_geometry off. Valid range is 0 to infinity. [Flags: a]
s_occfactor 0.250 // A3D 2.0 only. Transmission value of material - the smaller the number, the more occluded the sound is (less sound passes through the material). Valid range is 0 to 1.0
s_occlude 1 // A3D 2.0 only. enable sound occlusions.
s_refdelay 4 // A3D 2.0 only. Delay between a source and its closest reflection. The higher the delay, the more time it takes between when the source and its first reflection is played. Valid range is 0 to 100. [Flags: a]
s_refgain 0.400 // A3D 2.0 only. Adjusts the gain on each reflection, where higher number means louder reflections. Remember very loud reflections could cancel out the effect of HRTFs. Valid range is 0 to 1.0 [Flags: a]
s_reflect 1 // A3D 2.0 only. enable sound reflections.
s_reverb 1 // enable reverb (0 may improve performance)
s_rolloff 1 // Adjusts the rolloff factor; when the rolloff value is increased, the effects of distance are increased: high frequencies are filtered and volume is lowered. Valid range is 0 to 10. [Flags: a]
s_verbwet 0.250 // controls the wet/dry mix of reverbfor A3D only. The higher the number, the more wet (more reverb) the sounds. Valid range is 0 to 1.0 [Flags: a]
_snd_mixahead 0.2 // set sound mixahead value (like s_mixahead in Q2), different values may help fix stuttering problems on some sound cards [Flags: a]

cl_lw 1 // enable client-side (lagless) weapon animations and sounds. If 1, weapons animation and sounds will fire instantly, but the real shot must be acknowledged by the server to happen, so animation/sounds may not match server reality.

cl_nopred 0 // disable client-side prediction (1 may increase lag)
cl_rate 9999.0021 // set rate that client will send data to the server in bytes per second (suggested starting values: 1000-4000 modem, 5000-7000 ISDN, 6000-10000 cable/DSL, 7000-20000 T1, 20000+ LAN) -- bad values cause LAG! turn on the r_netgraph 3 to help evaluate different values, and try non-integers like 4001.0528.

// cl_updaterate 100 // set number of updates client will request from the server each second. In general, the more players in the game, the lower this should be. Lower than 12 will cause choppiness, but 15 may be great for some slow connections. Cable and DSL connections may like 30-40, unless there are too many players on the server. FOr lan games, use 50.
