[ut2004] Help? 64 bit linux client and poor fps.

[Zachary Williams]

I'm not sure of the command line.  It's possibly -noaudio or just turning it 
off from within the game options area.  (It's been a bit since I fired up 
2k4, sorry).  Perhaps someone can chime in here with the proper command line 
option. :)
