How do I run a timedemo?

How do I run a timedemo in the Quake3 Arena Demo?

 

[Shooters]

Hit the ~ button to bring up the console screen. Then type "timedemo 1" and hit enter (without the quotes). Then type "demo demoxxx" and hit enter (once again without the quotes) where the x's are replaced by a demo number (e.g. demo001 or demo127). For some reason I can't get demo001 or demo002 to work with the version I'm using which is 1.27 g, but demo127 works fine. The game will play as fast as it can. When it finishes, hit the ~ button again to see your frame rates.

Thanks Shooters!

And here's how you do demo looping,

timedemo 1
set loop1 "demo demo001.dm3;wait;set nextdemo vstr loop2"
set loop2 "demo demo002.dm3;wait;set nextdemo vstr loop1"
vstr loop1

Cool, I've always wondered how to do that.
