Actually, the high Xorg CPU usage isn't limited to Wine virtual desktop -- the CPU usage is high whenever the game runs. Even if it doesn't do much. Does this warrant a new bug?
Yes, one problem per bug report please. You should make sure it's not the case on Windows as well first. Many games chew up the cpu when "idling".
