wine users - Jun 2009 - photoshop cs2 runs, but seems laggy

I just got photoshop cs2 installed and running on my system using 'sh
winetricks corefonts vcrun6' and while it runs and all, it seems very
choppy.  I've been reading about how wine 1.0 came out with the specific
purpose of photoshop running on wine/linux, and that even google has been
funding this endeavor, so I would think that by wine 1.1.23 it would be running
quite well.

To be more specific, photoshop runs just fine and there are no noticable
glitches until I start moving and interacting with things.  When creating a word
using the type tool, there is a noticable lag between me pressing a key and the
letter appearing on screen.

Anyway, I'm just trying to get this running smoothly enough to be able to
trust it so I can ditch my Windows install, any help is appreciated.

My system specs:

Ubuntu 9.04 64-bit

3 GB RAM
AMD Athlon 64 x2 4200+ (Dual core 2.4GHz)
Nvidia GeForce 6600 (proprietary 180 driver installed and running)

What are some basic photoshop tips for making your photos better? I know my way
around photoshop but I mostly use it for design, how can I use it for
photography as well?
