I need a how-to on that, I think.

As for Visene's suggestion for adding cpu speed to the shortcut...  I
thought it worked.  Then my character would get stuck.  I could shoot, but
not move.  It was sort of like when you run into someone who has spawned
when the server has spawn protection.  You get stuck.  Or like some maps
that have steps too high to run over or a corner in a wall that catches you.
 CPU Speed in the shortcut made the game run "right" but for the getting
stuck part.

I had better give a little info:  This is an XP machine with a Q6600 clocked
to 8X400 for 3.2 Ghz and has 2GB DDR2 @ 1066.  I'm running an 8800GTS512.  -
 Some of the problems feel like lag, but I have a crazy amount of bandwidth
and the server I play the most gives me around a 54 F6 ping.  When I added
cpuspeed=3200, the game felt normal again like when I used to play from my
older machines.  In practice session, everything is fine.  When I connected
to a server, everything felt right for about a minute.  Every time I was on
a slope, I would get stuck but I could move normally on any flat surface. 
As far as I can tell, the servers I've been playing are running no UTDC, but
might have some Pure 7 or 8 or whatever.  There are no unusual mods that I
know of.
