	Well, if you don't want to stop your program(s) then I give you answer to 
your original question: yes, minimizing Windows application under Wine (or even 
switching to another desktop without actually minimizing it) will reduce CPU 
usage in *some* cases. It depends on your application.

	For example, Metrader 4: when it is online and updating almost every 
second information on my screen it will obviously use CPU but if I go to 
another desktop, CPU usage will go down a bit.

	Do you have a problem with particular application?
