OK, I've made my homework properly. Here are the results:
Quake 3 with vanilla q3config.cfg (renamed the old one, so the game created new), Mac Mini 1.5 GHz, 64 MB VMEM. TGLSYNC set to 0, r_primitives set to 2.
1. Setup/System/Graphic Settings:High Quality. Changed screen res (to 800x600), geometric detail (to high) and texture detail (to highest)
2.7 - 47,7 FPS
3.0 - 59,4 FPS
2. Setup/System/Graphics Settings:Fastest. Changed only screen res (to 800x600) and texture detail (to lowest)
2.7 - 80,4 FPS
3.0 - 117,5 FPS
3. Setup/System configured like above, but this time Setup/Game options changed to off (except crosshair and simple items). Sound off.
2.7 - 88,0 FPS
3.0 - 133,9 FPS
No way settings #3 were used in the film from 2010. With these settings Q3 looks very poor.
