There are a lot of ways you can make a game run, but if you are getting a 50% drop in FPS's it makes most games unplayable, even on a decent machine.

Codeweavers pays several developers (to my knowledge) to be on the look out for ways to improve Windows DX support. Several members of the community have created tools to watch for performance degradation or improvement as well. Performance of games (and apps in general) is reasonably important to Wine these days. A 50% drop in FPS does not make most games unplayable unless you mistakenly relate skill to higher FPS.
