Improve UT2K4 Performance -- 10:23 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

I've read a couple of posts indicating that you can improve your framerate in a way that seems counter-intuitive. Basically, if you have a newer video card, increasing the graphics options may improve framerate. From what I've read, the higher settings use more advanced shaders supported by newer cards so they can run cooler effects with less of a penalty. I've been playing around with it tonight with the options set at their highest levels. There may be a slight penalty, but nothing painfully obvious. Try it for yourself! FWIW, my video card is a GeForceFX 5700 Ultra using the 5336 NVIDIA Linux drivers. Mmmm, eye candy.
