after thinking about the dribble I just posted, I did some math.  the perfect correct answer is 1.5 movement per diagional on squares.  and keep the rule that 2 adjacent monsters block the diagional.  its a little more complicated, but the GM is suppose to be vigilant against abuse, right?  right?

Totally agree, both for movement and blocking monsters. I usually use this system.
This is the AD&D 3.x method, that is to say: "The even diagonal squares count as two squares" (so the counting of the squares in diagonal movement is: 1, 2-3, 4, 5-6, 7...).
