I have just bought Grand Theft Auto San Andreas, which runs beautifully on my XP install, but on my ubuntu9.04-wine/stable install it runs very very very jerkily. Unreal tornaument works better in wine thanit does on windows so yeah. And ideas how to improve the performance? Ive done the directx registry edits, not much of a change.

start it with the prefix "WINEDEBUG=-ALL" before your execution command, thus disabling all debug output - some games can be accelerated quite a bit that way.
My total system specs if you like :D AM2 AMD sempron 1.6ghz overclocked to 2.5ghz 2gb ddr2-667 oc'd to ddr2-800 XFX Nvidia Gforce 7600GT XXX edition Biostar MCP6P-m2+ motherboard The debug thing didnt make much of a difference, so ive switched back to XP for the time being

Also some distros/setups redirect all X output into a file... You can guess how big it will get over time and how much it will slow things down.
