Certain problems can't be fixed externally. When UT installs its engine it 
polls the processor for its running speed and builds all its timing in 
relation to that figure. If you have speed stepping or power saving on and 
your cpu speed is throttled in any way, you will experience the lag and 
stutter. Without source access to the engine, you can't fix that (and I'm 
not sure it could be anyway). The only recourse it to adjust how your 
computer deals with the UT engine, or how it behaves itself. If they did fix 
it to run right, I'm guessing they altered the exe to compensate for certain 
things, but in doing that you might not be able to access a lot of the 
anticheat protected servers that run an md5 check.

Still I am interested, and probably will order one to see.
