Is anyone anymore playing this via wine?
I remember having the weird lag when starting game and also when you destroy ancient. But in time it got better. I quess the dota port got better.
I still have this lag when I start the game even native port. But it's not that bad. But it's always there. I think it's because it's compiling some shaders.
I haven't played on wine in a bit since the native client came out but did you try with the -nosound flag? I also wonder if using a different window manager will help with the bug or not, even on the native linux client I saw slight performance improvement just switching to open box as my window manager.
