On the off chance someone has been down this path.... I'm currently running an up-to-date F13 with wine installed. I run KDE if it matters. I was able to install and start Starcraft 2 using wine. Initially, it actually ran quite well on my 2.5-year old system. The only glitch seemed to be that the audio would cut out if the system got too bogged down. (I would also get errors in /var/log/messages about pulseaudio's ratelimit kicking in.) I could go to the Sound options and change the sound output device to another in the list and that would magically restore the sound for awhile. Still, that got annoying, so I tried to fix it. Somehow, I made it much worse; now, everything is going much more slowly. I had to turn all the performance options to low, and I still only get a few frames per second. And I have no sound. Now that's really annoying! I'm not sure what I did, aside from a tip I found to get pulseaudio to run with higher priority by adding my account to some groups. I had installed tuned, but that seemed to kill performance, so I uninstalled it. I think that at least partially the problem is still rooted in pulseaudio. Does anyone have any suggestions for fixing this? Aside from wine, I haven't had any problems with audio (like playing music) in a long time.
