I'd like to add a comment to this bug. The reason is that a DIB engine is not a
magical thing that will make games fast. A couple of months ago I wrote
http://wiki.winehq.org/DirectDraw in which you can read most aspects.

In short only games that use GetDC/ReleaseDC really need a DIB engine.
Most games trigger the DIB stuff in ddraw because they require depth
conversion. Even with a DIB engine such games might not be that fast. Most
cases can be handled efficiently using OpenGL. This backend is fast if the
right GL extensions are around.
