That's a tough one - normal GLQuake behaves this way as well. Quake actually
limits framerates to keep proper time (this limitation is lifted for
timedemos, which can easily hit >120fps, but the game is running too fast to
be playable at that point). Odd thing is, the cap is set to 72fps so I'm not
sure why it tops out at 61fps. Regardless, it would take some major work to
get rid of this limitation.

I've been meaning to look at that - do you have any QW demos you can point
me to? (or just email me one)
