I don't think you can speed hack by increasing your cl_cmdrate. Check out this bit of networking doco valve published recently:
"The client creates user commands from sampling input devices with the same tick rate that the server is running with. A user command is basically a snapshot of the current keyboard and mouse state." http://www.valve-erc.com/srcsdk/general/multiplayer_networking.html So sending more snapshots is still only telling the server you're holding down the forwards button. And the server dosen't add your velocity every time it gets the user commands, it does it once per server frame.
