I want to be able to see the FPS I'm running at, as it feels a bit low.
I've tried tdt in the console to no avail.

Download Fraps for free and it will allow you to display FPS and take screenshots etc. works for everything to my knowledge.
The suggested SkyrimPrefs.ini i was using was the wrong one.
Using Process Monitor i was able to figure out that the correct one is:
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\Skyrim\SkyrimPrefs.ini
e.g.
C:\Users\Ian\Documents\My Games\Skyrim\SkyrimPrefs.ini
Changing [Controls]\fMouseHeadingSensitivity to
fMouseHeadingSensitivity=0.1250 (new)
fMouseHeadingSensitivity=0.0125 (old)
did the trick.

Install a tool like FRAPS (free, but limited to 30 seconds of screen recording) or RivaTuner (free) and you will be able to see the FPS of any game.
FRAPS can be used for showing your FPS, as well as recording your gameplay, but that will require you to buy the full version.
