Here's another chamber in which preparing for a speedrun is very similar to perfecting the time challenge.  Remember that if you mess up in the middle of a single segment speedrun the implications are much more serious than messing up the challenge, so develop a path through the chamber that pretty-much always works for you.  For example, if, when you try to peek-a-portal through the hallways, you have a habit of falling out of the portal and into the toxic goo, you need to either practice until this doesn't happen or use the regular, slow path (which will really mess up your time).  Review all the hints and tips for the time challenge.  In particular, don't walk through the chamber when you can portal yourself ahead.
