When booted into Windows XP, I get minimum 20 fps in warzones.  On the same
computer, this drops to around 5 fps in Ubuntu under Wine (minimum).

Trying taskset like such:

xoloki at xocotl:~/src/mrx/build$ ps auwx | grep swtor
xoloki    8935  0.0  0.0   8704   900 pts/1    R+   17:44   0:00 grep swtor
xoloki   29822 50.4  8.4 1916864 1389392 pts/5 RLl  15:20  72:26 C:\Program
Files\Electronic Arts\BioWare\Star Wars - The Old
Republic\swtor\RetailClient\swtor.exe @swtor_dual.icb 
xoloki   29839 74.1  4.5 2188764 756428 pts/5  SLl  15:20 106:20 swtor.exe
@RemoteRendererServer.icb                                                       
xoloki at xocotl:~/src/mrx/build$ taskset -pc 2 29822
pid 29822's current affinity list: 3
pid 29822's new affinity list: 2
xoloki at xocotl:~/src/mrx/build$ taskset -pc 3 29839
pid 29839's current affinity list: 3
pid 29839's new affinity list: 3

I didn't see any noticeable difference in framerate in warzones (still dropped
to around 5 during large fights).  I have 4 CPUs, so I chose 3 and 4.

Does anyone get good (i.e. comparable to Windows on same hardware) framerates
in PvP?
