I've tried everything i can think of and looked and tried a ton of hints on the page for it. http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=149 Under "Starcraft is soooooo sloowwwwww (that's me)" Posted up my log and everything. I tried updates, wine updates, registry changes, switched from opengl to the default, back and forth. There are times starcraft would physically run great with a blank screen, i could hear the navigation go quickly but to no avail. I'm running ubuntu 8.10 with the newest version of wine 1.1.16. I've noticed that it runs SLIGHTLY faster if i literally take all of my ubunto desktop effects off but it's not by much, it's noticeable but not playable by leisure. Thus far my games have played wonderfully. SC is giving me the trouble and i'm a hell of an SC fan :P

My first question is do you have a nVidia graphics card? And are the nVidia proprietary drivers installed? Are you running full screen 640x480 8 or 16 bit? John
Using a Radeon 9800 SE as listed in the linked thread above. 1.2ghz and about 600+mb ram. Regarding the screen size are you talking the x desktop and depth, or are you talking the wine emulated desktop/depth?

Its been a long time since I played but I remember it was best to be fullscreen to get good performance.
