Sounds like a lack of v-sync is causing tearing and over time the offset 
between the swapbuffers and screen refresh is changing. Is your monitor running 
at a standard refresh rate?

Try forcing vsync in the control panel for your graphics card driver. At least 
nVidia provide an option for this. I'm not sure about AMD and Intel.
