Considering that many people will soon be merging over to multi-core CPUs in
the near future, and my 4800+ AM2, w/ 8800GTS runs at an average of 3FPS (this
is a CPU / File IO limitation, not a GPU limitation however), I would NOT call
this minor.

The issue seems to be the fact that Guild Wars stores all of it's data in a
single, giant file...  (many gigabytes, currently 3.4gig on a fresh install) 
I'm assuming there's something in the wine kernel, or file IO functions that
isn't handling very big (2GB+) files very well, especially with multi-core
CPUs.

This issue is less obvious with faster, single core CPUs...  for example my
partner's 3200+ runs quite a lot faster (with a 6600GT) than my 4800+ AM2 w/ an
8800GTS.  (System configuration, and wine configuration is identical besides
CPU and GPU - very little noticeable difference between versions 0.9.45 -
0.9.47)
