Adding for clairifcation...
The wine version installed via brew was 1.8.1
If I do a regular build of 1.8.1 (non-homebrew) then AOE runs really hot, any build of wine I have tried thus far, will run hot when playing AOE, everything except the brew installation.
All that needs to be done to recreate this is to install the latest version of wine and try running the game, after about 3 minutes of gameplay, my processor temp goes up to ~80C as opposed to ~40C on the homebrew install of wine.
Perhaps a diff between plain and homebrew versions may help. In addition there might be some difference in the build flags or build environments.
