So I did look through launchpad and there are quite a few issues with this it
seems. In fact, far too many to find what I'm looking for. 

On the wine APP Database entry for Starcraft II:

"Hi guys, 

Just wanted to share with you that my CPU (AMD Phenom II X4 965) will usually
throttle to 800 MHz (instead of 3.4GHz) during gameplay, lowering FPS by
30~40%, if set Ondemand mode. 

I have to manually set it to 3.4GHz (or Performance) to get more FPS. 
My videocard is a GTX 470 (drivers 260.19.06); I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 x86-64. 

Does anyone else experience this? 

My biggest fear is that for whatever reason the videocard isn't used to the
max, hence the CPU times out and Linux decides to lower the frequency. 
Using WoW I remember that this was not happening; if I use other native games,
like HoN, the CPU stays fixed at 3.4GHz (as expected, to get max FPS). 

Cheers,"

I am going to try running some other wine games soon and see if everything is
affected, or if this is a Starcraft II specific issue. I'll report my results
here.

Regards,
