[ut2003io] Differences between Linux and Windows UT2003 port

[Peter Bruley]

Here is an interesting article about UT2003 being benchmarked under 
Windoze with various "video cards"

http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.html?i=1650&p=1

This article states that my  setup (1.3Ghz-Athlon-512MB-PC2100DDR 
Nvidia-32MB-GeForce2-PRO) should get about 80FPS under windoze at 
800x600 in High-Detail.

In reality under LINUX I only get about 50 FPS.

I am however using the UT2003-demo so I am wondering if the real version 
does any better?
