Over the past couple years I've been able to try out Wine games on many different environments -- laptops, desktops, even cloud servers.
On many occasions, I've discovered that a game appears to run functionally but slowly, however upon further investigation I find that forcing the CPU to run at 100% "performance" mode can make the game playable.
There are a few tools to do this (eg cpufreq-indicator for desktop users), however the long and short of it is that, for many users, I suspect they just assume Wine is slow and give up on that particular game.
Confirming that. My recent research on Diablo 3 performance lead me to setting cpu governor to performance policy and that "magicaly" makes Diablo 3 run faster, without affinity mask and others tricks.
But according to battle.net not only wine suffer from this issue. Many Windows/Mac users have it. So I'm not sure whether this wine problem or not.
