Sorry folks, I had to perform some maintenance and backups yesterday. The links will be operational again today.
I highly recommend you try the srcdsbooster utility instead of the clock.avi hack.
Visit http://www.noclans.com/downloads.htm for this and some other utilities or just grab the booster zip here: http://www.noclans.com/downloads/autoscriptsrcv10.zip
It is a very tight program written in C and consists of only a very few lines of code. I do not know who the author is. (If anyone does please inform me so I can always give credit where credit is due)
To see the effect: 1. run an srcds server in console mode (in a dos box) and note the default 65fps. 2. run the clock.avi hack thing and note the fps value. 3. close the wmp app and the fps should go back to 65. 4. run the srcdsbooster app. note the fps value now.
Make sure you set fps_max to 999 in server.cfg because for some reason it seems like the srcdsbooster tracks at 50% of whatever the fps_max is set to. I.e.; at 999 you should see an fps around 500 while running the srcdsbooster app.
srcdsbooster can be effecitively run as a service via FireDaemon.
Enjoy!

I would love to download that booster util and give it a try, but the download links on that page are broken.

Very Very Important Statement! If you are running multiple servers per host then you need to watch your CPU loading. If you have not already tried this tiny little utility then you should before you mess around with tickrate too much. And you should see what results you can get using both!
The utility is called srcdsfpsbooster. You can download it from http://www.noclans.com/downloads.htm
I still do not know who the C programmer is that wrote and compiled this jewel. It only has a few lines of code and does the trick to "unlock" the "fps". And does so without any extra baggage. If anyone know who the author is then tell me so I can put it in a readme with the file.
Note: I run the booster as a service along with all the srcds servers and teamspeak servers on my host using FireDaemon. Firedaemon, IMHO, is well worth the money if you can swing it. No more having to leave a user account logged in on your host to run a dos console window. (This is a security problem)
And when the host reboots, for whatever reason, all the services automatically load up.
