Understood. Guild Wars 2 is widely acknowledged to be CPU-bound, and generally gets awful frame rates when running on wine/linux compared to the same hardware on windows. I look forward to seeing results from more GW2 players using these patches. For anyone interested, a few players have begun to post their results in the AppDB comments: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=26558#Comment-87382
