RE: Very bad performance

Yes, you can expect that a shell in an os operating an os would be slow. On my computer I have a E8400 Core 2 Duo, Dual Raid-0 WD Raptors, An Nvidia 9800GT, and 8 gigs of RAM, and it's only just playable on low settings. A proper Direct X install speeds things up a good bit though. You're going to need to properly configure your user.reg to include the path for the Direct X dynamic link libraries. Instructions Follow:
1.sudo gedit /home/your_user/.wine/user.reg (your_user is your user name btw)
3. Download and extract the Direct X setup files where ever you choose
4. cd (cd /home/your_user/.wine/dos???/c: I can't remember the whole path)to the extracted files directory and install.
5. Done.

There are many many things that can affect performance.
For starters, what version of the NVidia drivers are you using? Are you using the proprietary or free driver? Make sure you're using the latest NVidia driver, and consider using the proprietary one from www.nvidia.com (it's non-free, but it may help with performance).
Also, you might want to consider getting Wine 1.2 or better, and see if that helps performance any.
