Using the saved game from bug 23684, restart the mission; when you start waking up, press escape twice to skip the movies. Now sweep the mouse to rotate yourself to look around. On Windows, this is very smooth. On Wine, there is a noticeable amount of stuttering.
The problem stops as soon as you've looked at enough of the room to have it in cache, or something like that.
