Before starting my post, I will apologize for the late reply. I've been busy lately, and only came across this post on Sunday, and finally got time to answer your post.
With your first point, after realizing my stupidity with the 2nd and 3rd bosses stuff, I probably quitted trying, and that's why there's a huge gap with the 3:17 from November 23, 2009 and the 3:10 I posted in March 29, 2010. I can't remember why I have decided to give it a try again after so long (maybe I wanted to have a record for myself, I don't know).
With the second point, I also think the level could be done a few seconds faster, but I got no idea on how to do it. How perfect I think 3:10 is? I don't know, it's pretty hard to give a precise estimation on how perfect the stat is, since I haven't replayed Death Egg Act 2 like I did 3 years ago, with that much practice. I lost that in the 3+ years the stat went live.
With the third point, after looking at the map, I think I got my route back deep from my brain: Straight until the first tunnel, there's an electric shield at the start, which as you said, is quite required for the run I made. Then, I went in the tunnel, went RIGHT, then followed the path. Some extra notes: I quickly spindashed in the first set of staircases so I could squeeze in and gain some time (probably got that after watching mike89's run, which is in the video section), and I mostly followed mike89's run (of course, about the 1:16 mark, I did follow the normal route, as I can't fly as Sonic over the teleporter). From the first boss, I think I got lucky, because, as far as I can remember, I remember nothing about it.
And with the last point, as I said in my previous post, I'm pretty sure I was decided to get a record, and (I still can't remember for sure) decided to do Death Egg Zone Act 2. Maybe because it was the hardest one. Maybe because not many people have done it before. I don't know. What I do remember (and you are right about it) is that I played DEZ 2 over and over again, for some weeks, and that was probably the only one time I actually got that far into speedrunning. I haven't really focused as much as I did on DEZ 2 in other zones, and that's why some (if not most) of the stats aren't really considered speedrunning. Most of them I probably did for the heck of it, and I'd guess I made them as a filler, in order to gain a higher spot in the S3/S&K complete ranking list.
And, finally, as I said in my last post, I don't really much care about what happens with the 3:10 stat. I only wanted to clear it out that I did not lie by posting the 3:10 stat. It was all done legit, in an emulator running at full speed (because I don't own a Mega Drive), starting from the level select screen, selecting Death Egg Zone Act 2. I did not start with the lightning shield, I obtained it before the first tunnel. Anyway, I don't care about it as much as I did 3 years ago, and if it seems needed, it should be removed, and I will not complain. I don't have as much time as I had 3 years ago in order to attempt to speedrun DEZ 2 and try to get close, tie (or even beat) the 3:10 mark. And that's the reason I haven't been able to actually answer to your post. Hope this clears any doubts.

Well, let's see... Those are kinda tricky questions, because I'm bad at remembering stuff...
Ok. Since I don't have a Genesis (boo), I used Kega Fusion in my old computer in order to try to beat the record at that time (3:15), and yes, it did ran at full speed. I do remember I used the right route (or tube) at the start of the level, and went pretty straight forward after that [I took a look at the map in order to do this, because I couldn't even remember that]. And, I did create a savestate at the 3:10 moment; but, due to unknown reasons, that computer is now dead broken and dead gone; and also due to unknown reasons, I didn't take a picture of that moment >:(. I'm unable to post any proof of the time right now, and I also tried it myself a couple times some months ago, failing to do accomplish my feat.
How did I forget about the second and third bosses? I can't remember the exact reasons why I thought the times were only counted until the first boss. Again, my bad memory played part on this.
Anyway, that was in 2010, the year in which I posted most of my times (just behind 2009 if I'm correct). During those years, I was all hyped about getting a record in a Sonic game, and, (I don't know why), I chose Death Egg Act 2 as the act to beat (probably because it was a hard one and few people posted records in there). But, the years have passed, and I lost interest in record-breaking (my latest post if I'm correct is the Sonic Colors one, done 9 months ago, and none of them is a good time to even fit inside the Top 15).
I don't have any interest on that stat anymore, and since I'm proof-less, the best thing to do right now is to remove that stat from the site. I don't care about what the staff decides on that stat, and I think Romulo The Brazilian will finally be happy again if it were to be removed.
Maybe, one day, out ot boredom, I'll try that act again. Not right now though. I've got a lot of stuff to do. In fact, I got surprised when I read the email about this, because I completely forgot about that, and even before I realized what happened, I thought some guy might have already beaten that time. Little did I know that 3:10 was still the record-time.
Hope this cleared any doubts.
