In this wine version most performance related issues remains equal in most games however in ubisoft titles (uplay titles) appears interesting problem have relation with uplay client
Main problem stay in new process at open uplay client named uplaywebcore.exe and impact seriously performance (in my machine consume around 20 to 25% of cpu use)
In this video (Assassins Creed Brotherhood Multiplayer) can observe performance with uplaywebcore activated (around minute 2:06 to minute 4:55) and how up performance with is desactivated (around minute 5:58 to 7:35)

In this video (Assassins Creed Brotherhood Singleplayer) can observe performance with uplaywebcore activated (around minute 2:30 to minute 3:55) and how up performance with is desactivated (around minute 7:50 to 9:25)
