If Fraps drops your fps down to 10, you either have a really weak videocard or you did set up fraps the wrong way.

Note: Fraps limits you maximum fps to the value you set in the "Movies" tab. I.e I have to run games with Vsync that limits me to 60fps (crappy LG flatron TFT), so I set my Fraps to 60fps while recording.

Afterwards, I convert the clip into DivX (because that keeps the aspect ratio 1:1) and drop the framerate to 30fps (less filesize).

As Beepa explains, Fraps only produces a little overhead. Problem is, if it's set to record @30 fps and there is a big rush coming, your videocard has to deal with flames, explosions etc, you certainly will experience low fps under 20.

Set up Fraps to 60fps and test it. If that doesn't help enough enable the Client_physics_Optimization in your Renegade. If this fails again, get a better videocard.
