Red Alert running slow in Wine, uses 100% CPU

Hello!

I'm trying to run the old game Command & Conquer - Red Alert in wine (20050211), I read on the net it would run perfectly on Linux, but I'm having a little bit of a problem; it uses 100% of my CPU, and apparently, it wants even more (=lags)!
I think it lags because the graphics isn't using hardware acceleration (or is it?), because if I use the lower resolution setting in RA (from 640x480->640x400), it gets slightly better.
I've enabled DGA on my system, I thought that would make the game run smoothly...

My system (short version):
AMD Athlon XP 2500+
1GB of RAM
Geforce 5600 (don't remember the full name)

I'm using an up-to-date Gentoo with the binary drivers from nvidia.

This is the output from WINEDEBUG=+x11drv wine ra95.exe

Please use the registry key HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG\Software\Fonts\LogPixels
to set the screen resolution and remove the "Resolution" entry in the config file

I've got nothing fancy in my wine-config, except maybe
[AppDefaults\\ra95.exe\\x11drv]
"DXGrab" = "Y"

The above is for making the keyboard work in the game.
I can post the whole file if needed.


Tips for making this great game run more smoothly is greatly appreciated!
If nothing else works, I'll guess I'll give freecnc or cedega a try.

Thanks!

So i dont really know what any of that code means, im a super-new linux user, but just the same i know that for RA2 there is a patch that is supposed to fix a problem that could be related to yours. The patch is supposed to make it run on newer faster computers, because apparently people running it with a p4 1gb RAM were having troubles because their computers were too fast...?
