    yeah, this is a pretty common problem for ppl that tweak their settings manually.

    What causes this effect is a large difference between the values of cl_forwardspeed, cl_sidespeed, cl_backspeed, and mebbe even other ones like cl_upspeed.

    Even though speeds are capped at some relatively low value such as 320, if you have your forwardspeed set to 9999 and sidespeed set to 500, it will calculate the ratio for a diagonal strafe BEFORE it actually caps the speed.

    So, in short, the fix is to make sure that all of the following values are exactly the same as eachother:
    cl_forwardspeed
    cl_sidespeed
    cl_backspeed
    cl_upspeed (if it exists, can't remember)


    personally I have all of mine set to 9999 so I always run as fast as the server will let me.
