Maybe you have vsync turned on.  You don't say what OS this is.  If 2000 or
XP you also need a refresh rate fix..  http://www.pagehosting.co.uk/rf/

The non pro 9700 is probaby similar in speed to the 9500 Pro, so someone
else reporting 41fps may be about right with all bells and whistles.

Maybe your sound card is a CPU hog?  What is it?  EAX on/off?  Do you have
other programs running in the background?  Tried shutting some down? Have
you tried the latest ATI Catalyst drivers?  v3.8/3.9 ?
