Your old PC? You reinstalled the HRP on a new one? (That might explain such a large improvement in framerate!). sd_duke will cause some serious performance drops in most situations... No doubt it's the removal of sd_duke that's spiked your FPS so nicely, and not this new release of eDuke32 (obviously no offence intended TX, and assuming you aren't on a newer / better PC now).

Sorry I wasn't clear. It's the same pc. After I just read your post I put sd_duke back in the autoload folder to check the framerate. It was all over the place but still much better than before. At idle it ranged from 100-140 fps. At random, and every time I killed an alien though a big green wall appeared, like the one's in the mothership and the fps would drop right down to 50-60.
Next I totally uninstalled the HRP and reinstalled it using the copy of eduke32 that came with it. Without sd_duke the framerate at idle was 60 and in game 40-50. So there was an improvement in the in game fps by removing sd_duke but not a lot. To tell you the truth at this point I'm just happy I can finally play Duke using the HRP. If there are other people using older computers out there who had a problem with the HRP they should definitely try this version of eduke32 out.
