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.
