And UT2k4 is a very CPU intensive game. I open Activity Monitor, and UT2k4 is taking around 80% CPU. All of the other combined processes add up to 5% or less. Is there a way I can tell UT to allot more CPU cycles to itself?

In OS9 it was easy. In 10 I would say good luck. Hope iam wrong on that.
You can change UT's priority while it's running to a different number. They range from -20 to 20, where processes with lower priority numbers are given higher running priority. See the renice command.
Speaking of renice, I'm sure there's some app or Preference Pane you can install that will auto-renice apps for you as they are launched. Sort of like the ATI drivers and ATI overrides for app-specific settings.
CPU Accelerator may be what you're looking for (closest I can think of anyway). It may help, although people have said it doesn't help with games (although I have not verified this myself).

usage: renice priority [[-p] pid ...] [[-g] pgrp ...] [[-u] user ...]
renice -n increment [[-p] pid ...] [[-g] pgrp ...] [[-u] user ...]
Let me know if its of any benefit.
