wine causes system slowdown

After upgrading to a 64bit system with new hardware, running 3d games with wine now results in my entire system becoming unresponsive until I kill wine (wineserver -k). I am using the bin32-wine package from AUR, and have experienced this problem with wine 1.1.10, .12, and .13. Wine does use 100% of a single core, but it did this with my previous system as well, and my current system is an i7 (the old was  dual core opteron 165).

I don't think it's anything to do with ~/.wine, because I tried installing Red Alert 3 to a different WINEPREFIX and I experienced the same problem with it. The other game that freezes is EVE Online. Both EVE and RA3 worked fine with my previous 32bit arch install. I'm able to run RA3 in Cedega with no slowdowns, but Cedega does not support the latest version of EVE, so this is not a solution.

Does anyone have any idea how I can fix this or what might be causing it? I've been trying various things for the past two weeks with no success.
