wine users - Nov 2009 - Game in Wine 1.0.1 on Mint 6 max. cpu but not on Windows.

Installed Halo Through POL in wine 1.0.1 on Mint 6.  Game plays but is slow.  I
checked my system monitor during game play and my cpu was maxed.  IN windows
this does not happen.  I have not seen much in reviews for Halo.  System I have
it on is Hp 2.4 Ghz single core amd athlon 64.  256 mb video nvidia  and 1.5 gig
of ram.  Running on 32 bit mint 6.  Also in game play fps is below 10.  Before
the game starts in the video it is 25-30 fps.  I have dropped all effects to the
lowest levels and even cut off compiz on my desktop.  Any help would be great.

As the folks at PlayOnLinux.  This is not supported here.  However, I
have an idea, Wine will attempt to use more than one CPU/Core, but if
the game is not multi-threaded, then everything will be loaded onto
one.  That happens here on MacOSX as well.

Well my system is a single core amd.  Is there anywhere I may edit it so it does
not load up my cpu.  I am new to wine but not to linux.  I am not scarred to get
my hands dirty.  I want to learn all I can about wine.  And maybe its just the
game.  or  my system.  It does have some age on it.  Not cutting edge for sure.

Thanks
