Well I tested the mentioned games on my new machine and they are running by 200%
of the normal speed. Does anybody know the problem and knows a fix to this?

I had a similar problem with Quake3.
I solved this problem by reinstalling the game.

I took my old ~/.ut2003 from myold machine, may be there is something like a bogomips value in there. I moved it away but ut2003 is still fast like I am on speed

If you have dynamic CPU clocking (like Intel speedstep or whatever) enabled then it causes problems with (at least) ut2004. The solution is to set your CPU to max speed before starting the game. The problem seems to be that the game takes its timing at startup before the CPU is at max clock speed, and then the CPU ramps up to max speed and the timings are wrong and you get a really fast game. I had this problem on my laptop with speedstep enabled, and the above workaround fixed it everytime.
