It's a Christmas miracle in November. I alt-f4´d at the end and the IGT was 22:12 in game. You can see it in the twitch highlight -- Watch live at / saastutin
What Sean said. Previously you had to get the Purple Coward's Crystal to be able to wrong warp to the Kiln. So in the previous route you had enter the DLC and kill Artorias. Now with this new spellswap glitch you can warp to the kiln as soon as you've placed the lordvessel. You do the glitch by spellswapping from fireball to homeward and then touching a bonfire during the animation. wiki.speedsouls.com/darksouls:Wrong_Warp#Homeward_Wrong_Warp Speedsouls wiki has a better explanation on how wrong warps work.
Toggling your right or left hand makes you accelerate a bit faster when you start sprinting. In total doing that saves a few seconds in the whole run so it's a really small thing. Alternatively you can also toggle between different arrow types which is what you see me doing when I have bow in my left hand.
New way of doing the wrong warp using the homeward miracle was found. This saves over 8 minutes since you don't have to go to the DLC anymore and get the Purple Coward's Crystal. Here's the speedsouls wiki page on wrong warps wiki.speedsouls.com/darksouls:Wrong_Warp#Homeward_Wrong_Warp
