The "phobia" demo isn't bogus, UT is fundamentally cpu limited, even on 700+
cpu's .
there are many cpu based performance tweeks you can use in UT. Dynamic
lighting, decals, gore level, high detail actors, all incur significant cpu
use (+ some fillrate).

The Q2 "crusher" demo was widley known as mainly being a cpu based
benchmark, is that "bogus" too?

Using glide on a Voodoo3 3000 I have to go to 1280*1024 to see a significant
drop in fps...
