Well, I don't think it's a performance issue since swapping my LCD out for
a CRT fixes everything.

I don't quite recall what hardware I was using when I quit playing UT99,
but I do know that my framerates were locked at 100fps which was the
refresh rate of my CRT.

It could very well be that my LCD just isn't up to snuff.  It's a Dell
1905FP circa Jan of '05.  It was hot stuff back then, but it's a PVA panel
and it's response time would probably be considered very slow by today's
standards.  Maybe it's time for an upgrade.

One question though... I thought that turning off vsync might help, but
that caused UT to run *way* too fast... just like it did before putting
the CPU speed in the shortcut.  Does yours do that too?  If not, then
maybe I do need a bit of tweaking.  I'm currently running Chris Donal's
(http://www.cwdohnal.com/utglr/) OGL renderer.  I've tried D3D too but no
joy.  And oh by the way... back in the day Chris's renderer made the game
look really good.  Now, there are various texture issues during gameplay.
Maybe my config is crap.
