As some may remember, my character in CoH was INFAMOUSLY slow - I looked like I was in slow motion. And at 33rd level sprinting, first levels walking were passing me by like nobody's business. Heck, using full flight slotted for speed, a first level sprinting could beat me.
Well, recently, I started playing a new (FREE!) MMO called "9 Dragons", and had the same problem there (I should note I did NOT have the same problem with another MMO, Flyff). It was actually kinda funny, but I had problems with 'yellows' (Higher lvl than you but not TOOmuch, just like in COH) because I was attacking only once for every three to four times I should have been.
Today, I installed new video drivers, and still had the same problem. I grumbled, and closed the game. I then realized I had forgotten to reset my screen to 1280x1024 from its default 1024x768. So I did that, and on a whim, went into "Advanced", and dropped Hardware Acceleration down a notch, just on a hunch.
Later on this afternoon, I opened 9 Dragons... and BAM! I'm at normal speed! Where, before, being mobbed by four light blues (just one step above 'not worth it') had me running to get out of their zone, I could now wipe the floor with four yellows and be looking for more! And travel times were no longer a chore (as in smoke a cigarette, drink some soda, and contemplate the nature of the universe just to get from one village to another).
All this means... sometime next month, or maybe sooner, I might be popping into COH with my lvl 33 Blaster just to see if that did it for me in CoH, too. Seeya there!
Hope it works for you. If you do get to play CoH toss me a line. :)

I liked it for a while... but it got old when, as a lvl 51 mercenary, I still had no long pants! Only shorts!
pants can be overrated!
