I tested with the trial version of Age of Mythology as I don't have the full
version, so can't say whether or not the full version of the game is affected.

The problem: performance is considerably slower in the game since Wine 1.5.7.
This can be observed during the cutscenes, in unit animations, or when
scrolling the screen.

According to my testing, the problem appeared in 1.5.7, and is still present as
of wine-1.5.9-186-g1f6febe. The result of the regression test:

0610d1eec9a287e22831a40427e6a9a38f3f745f is the first bad commit

Steps to reproduce the problem with the trial version:
1. download and install the demo (installing msxml4 is not mandatory with
current Wine)
2. start the demo with aom.exe. Background animation in the menu is kinda slow.
Click on <Campaign>, <Play campaign>, <Start>: a prologue video begins to play
and you can observe how slow the rendering is. You can observe the same laggy
performance during gameplay too.

I can't tell a difference here, 1.4, 1.5.7, 1.5.20 and 1.7.0 all seem pretty
fluid. Can you please retest?

I'm still experiencing the poor performance on my system with Wine 1.4 and with
the 1.5.x series. However, performance is much better in 1.6 and 1.7.0 than
before. I made a regression test that revealed that the following commit has
something to do with the changes:

I can't tell how the game is supposed to perform in native Windows, but
performance is fair enough under Wine to mark this bug FIXED.

Tested on Fedora 19
