Distance fog is set up to clip anything past the specified distance.  Density fog, however, will not (because there is no specified distance, the fog just gets denser exponentially).

gl_showtris only works in single player (deathmatch 0)

Your current method is using distance fog.  To use density fog, you need to use "fogd" (not implemented in build 5).  r_speeds don't take fog into account, so you can't see if there is a decreased polygon count.

The distance fog uses a clipping plane, meaning anything past a certain distance is simply not drawn by the video card.  r_speeds are counted by the engine.  Every time it draws a polygon, it adds to the count.

You can play around with this and see if fog improves your framerate by doing the folllowing:
Make the map without fog, turn on cl_drawfps, go to a spot where the framerate is low, then go to the console and type: sky "fog 0 0 0 500" and see if the framerate goes up or down.
