Excuse my brief reply since I've written this 10+ times now. If you're willy to put in the time identifying the bottleneck and creating a bug for this would help a lot of people, not just for this game. Unfortunately this has to be done by some one who actually has a decent computer (say i7/460) ruling out all those who maintain the sc2 bugs/appdb so far. Doing this is easier than it seems with a rough guide here http://wiki.winehq.org/Performance If you can help that'd be great!
