To WTF/config.wtf and the next time I ran the game, the It was later when I remembered that WoW runs on DirectX by default so I added the line The first time I played it, it ran really choppy. Today I installed World of Warcraft on my Xubuntu 12. So, let me give you a real world example. The good thing is that OpenGL runs natively on Linux (not like DirectX) and those games that support it can usually be set (in the game's settings or some config files) to use OpenGL instead of DirectX which result's in better performance. (Because its Mac's alternative to DirectX). Some games (especially those that run on Mac too) support not only DirectX but OpenGL. Running DirectX on Wine is choppier because things are not well optimized. This DirectX thing runs only on Windows so its wine's job to emulate it. Most of the games for Windows are made with DirectX. Still running games with Wine is way choppier so the problem isn't in the background processes but actually in Wine itself. Ubuntu generally uses less resources than Windows 7 does even with Gamebooster on. I know this is an old thread but there IS actually a solution to your problem.
