The text of the submission really needs to be changed, since this run is not under 5 minutes anymore. Could you also put a small explanation there about why the credits glitch from the last submission is not used? (There were a fair number of posts in the old thread to sift through to figure it out.)
Clipping through the wall looks like it saves about 7 seconds overall. Mainly because the old route required death, and it took about 11 seconds to go through the death sequence. It's also slower to swim through the water.
I never considered going through that wall, because I thought it would take too long. Clever move.
And then it looks like optimizing wall clipping and girl rescuing saves the other 4 seconds.
I've tested two particularly useful spots and found them to be possible to wall clip through. The question of whether the run could be faster depends on how quickly I can get through those walls. I'll have to test completely. One of them looks more likely than the other to be a time-saver.
I calculated the times needed to improve the run in those two spots that I mentioned before. I'm not sure whether they're possible:
Challenge 1: If you can get through this wall and get the key in less than ~17 seconds, it will save time:
Challenge 2: If you can get through this wall and grab the girl in less than ~20 seconds, it will save time.
When I tested the red route, starting from the top of the roof (after completing the left wall clip), it took only ~13 seconds to get to the end point. The blue route, starting from the girl, took ~26 seconds to get there. Starting from the girl, a wall clip completed in less than 13 seconds should save time.
I know what you mean by going to the right. It didn't work for me either because you can't get into the wall. I tested another spot in the dark world that also would be faster if you could wall clip through it, but there aren't enough objects to make it work.

Nice improvement! The zip that avoids the death over the spike pit was pretty cool, though the escape from the girl's room is also interesting. Would it save you any frames of input to jump before the ending and let momentum carry you down to the location that triggers the ending screen?
The trick is that you have to spawn a flying dark reaper that drops stuff on you. You have to go just a little bit to the left when you reach the bottom. Then have him follow you over to the right side.
When you go down the long ladder in this route, it should be possible to manipulate some of those quick downward slides by randomly stopping. That might be enough to make it faster.
Another issue: is every gunshot necessary? It seems like a loss of time to pick up the second gun.Using the ladder for the downward wall clip is brilliant. It inspired me to go back and look at the routes again. I might have found something. I got the Dark World right wall clip to work. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3x-NnF59Zg Currently, Girl-to-Warp takes ~56 seconds. This route is very close to that time. It has to be optimally TASed to find out whether it's faster or slower. It's about a 50/50 chance I think.
