Slowdown after map changes

Hi!
I got a strange problem:
After changing or reloading maps four or five times the frame rates drop
to about 50% of the normal values. I can reproduce this by starting the
game, entering a map, go back to main menu (I click on 'forfeit'
already in spectator mode to abort). Then I start another match, exit
it, start another ... when entering e.g. CTF-Magma the fourth time it
happens, my frame rate drops to unplayable 20-25 fps (normal 35+). On
other maps it sometimes takes 5 or more reloads, but sooner or later
it'll happen. It doesn't matter, whether you complete a match or leave
the map immediately after loading.
This problem also occurs when I start the game with -nosound and it was
also there in the demo. The only way to get normal game speed again is
to restart the game.
Has anyone else noticed this? I didn't see a bug report about it.
I don't know, whether it is important or not, but when I terminate X it
complains about a missing MTRR for one of the memory segments X/the
graphics driver uses.
