--- Comment #3 from Dispossessed Spirit <8090asdfghjkl at gmail.com> ---
Tested on Wine version 6.1 and not confirmed.
None of the symptoms described in the previous (2019-01-23) post are present.

Steps taken:
1. Installation of full HotA package (HOMM3 + HD Mod + HotA) from the official
HotA website at https://h3hota.com/en/download 
2. Updating HD Mod to the latest version (5.2 RC 28) using HD_Launcher.exe 
3. In the drop-down menu, selecting <h3hota HD.exe> as the game executable.
4. Under graphics section, selecting <32-bit Direct Draw>, native screen
resolution and full screen mode. 
5. Launching the game.

Work as expected without performance problems.
Also works as expected if we use HD_Launcher.exe to "Create HD.exe" from
h3hota.exe Because of that, the problem, if still present, is believed to not
be related to the creation of HD executable, and is thus presumed to also be
absent when installing HD Mod and HotA on the retail or GOG.com version. 

Other Graphics modes tested (as the original report mentioned performance
problems in all modes but 32-bit GDI/True GDI), with no performance problems
noticed: <16-bit DirectDraw (original)>, <16-bit DirectDraw (auto switch)>,
<(stretchable) 32-bit OpenGL by Verok> with Stretch filter options set to <xBRZ
x2> and <+Hermite>. 

It needs mentioning that HD Mod no longer provides 32-bit True as an option, it
seems it was replaced by Direct Draw, download link provided in previous post
is no longer valid and HD Mod website does not provide the possibility to
download past versions of modification, making complete replications of
previous tests but with newer Wine version impossible.
