General Tips:

The trick to getting the fastest times in the Time Trials of Mirror’s Edge is finding the quickest routes from checkpoint to checkpoint. There are two factors involved in this: using the moves that maintain your speed and finding the routes that don’t force you to use moves that slow you down.

Manuevers such as the safety roll (hitting L2 just before a hard landing) or the slide (L2 under objects) slow you down and should be avoided as much as possible. Other things like balancing across a pipe or shimmying across a ledge are obviously slow, so any routes that require you do do stuff like that should be avoided as well. When it isn’t possible to avoid a pipe though, you can try to jump as far out on to the pipe as you can, do shorten the time you’ll be required to balance on it.

Some maneuvers actually make give you a little speed boost, such as looking up at the top of a fence just as you jump to vault over it.

All these little facts about the way different obstacles effect Faith’s movements and speed should give you some pretty good clues as to what routes to look out for and what to avoid.
