A question: Have you set your minimum desired framerate to zero?

If you have not UT will dynamically adjust the scene detail to give a
consistant framerate (rather like a cap). 

Just for reference toggling my celeron from 300 to 450 has a very
unspectactular effect on performance. Thats a 50% boost in CPU and
main memory speed resulting in single figure percentage gains in the
UT engine.
