CONFIG_NO_HZ might make a difference, for instance. The linux kernel might have something to do with performance.

some applications don't interact well with power management and supposedly get 30% to 80% higher frame rate if you run at full power unconditionally (see ).

applications that are picky about what core a thread runs on may be disappointed (see e.g.

applications that use kernel events heavily may run slowly (e.g.

applications that rely on precise thread scheduling will be disappointed (see e.g.('winetricks glsl-disable' helps some games with this, as it translates D3D bytecode into the lower level ARB_program language rather than GLSL and the driver is generally quicker at compiling those. applications that frequently compile D3D shaders may suffer from stuttering see e.g.component does not contain d3d or unknown.Here are some performance-related bugzilla queries: The rest of this document is meant for developers more than users. (For instance, suggests Batman Arkman Asylum runs a lot faster if you set MotionBlur=False in that same file.) anything listed on the web as speeding up the Windows version.For instance, says Batman Arkham Asylum runs a lot faster if you set AmbientOcclusion=False in UserEngine.ini. anything listed in the appdb as helping your particular game.disabling UseGLSL might slightly improve Direct3D performance and reduce shader compilation stuttering (but that has a chance to work only for d3d9 or older games and usually only with the Nvidia proprietary driver).enable threaded optimization in the GL drivers: you can do that with environment variables, that's mesa_glthread=true for Mesa drivers or _GL_THREADED_OPTIMIZATIONS=1 for Nvidia proprietary drivers.That disables a bunch of error checking and validation if you run your game from the command line, run it with WINEDEBUG=-all.Notice that sometimes it enables code paths that aren't well tested (or are plain broken) in the game if the game has an OpenGL mode, you could try using that.Anyway, for games, you can experiment with the following short list of settings: Surprising as it may be, there really isn't a magic toggle to make everything faster.
