There is nothing so appreciated as a talk than was shorter than
expected. :) Always leave your audience wanting more.  Show the manual
again.  Read selected passages from the manual.  Point out a typo or
two. Slowly and solemnly read the list of contributors to the project,
like you're handing out diplomas.  "I'd like to thank each and every
one of the following people ... " :)

I've found that if I pace something in my hotel room, it's always
about 20% longer in the presentation room.  But that's just my
calibration.
