What I really don't like, though, is how the shotgun really knocks you the hell around.
My framerate is extremely erratic in this version. In the same map, it ranges wildly from about 20 to 200+, and all on the same map. It's extremely weird.
And everything seems a lot darker. I need to crank up my gamma.
I just checked the values and the shotgun did not change from 1.5. Also the push you get was not changed. This might be your mind playing tricks with you

What kind of hardware do you have again? Did you try exec med.cfg;vid_restart in the console? If that does not help much maybe even exec low.cfg;vid_restart to lower the graphical settings.
There was no change to the brightness/gamma settings.. do you have v_hwgamma 1 ?
