I'm amazed you think there is any large speed difference between "alpha" versions of a game and the final product. Are ID Software going to totally recode the game? Of course not.
The only thing that will save it is if everyone gets monster PCS and next gen gfx cards. Even if that happens, Doom 3 is going to be a major letdown when compared to HL2, simply because ID still have the crappy "clear the mob of monsters" and "get the key" style gameplay.
I realy hate all the hype about the grpahics in games, it's good to read previews which show alternative viewpoints.
