I doubt we will get any help from Valve, They only support Windows and Mac at
this time.

Has anyone confirmed that it really exists on all Source engine games and not
just TF2?

I think the solution is to find the slow function(s) and try to optimize those
functions to be more efficient, or perhaps make those functions run slower, it
seems its like a loop eating CPU, but if we add a small sleep after every loop
iteration, TF2 should run better.

Such a patch probably won't be merged into wine, but it should be a nice fix
for us TF2 users.

If anyone knows what is the slow function(s) causing the slowdown, please let
me know and i will try working around the slowdown.
