type ~ to set console commands then type CYCLE_RUBBER 5. the default is set to 1 the more rubber the longer you have to hit walls.

To get rid of the big gap you mentioned, open the console as kyle said and change the value of CYCLE_DELAY. I don't know the default one, you can get that by just typing CYCLE_DELAY without a value. To get smaller gaps, just decrease the value.

Default cycle_delay is 0.1, iirc. Also, rubber locally behaves differently than rubber on a server, because your local ping is 0. So you'll need a much more inflated rubber setting locally to practice for playing on a server. I'm sorry, but I don't have any recommended settings because I just practice on servers. :)

Only servers you have remote admin access to. But you can type the console command without an argument to see what it's set at.
