I was playing it until a few months ago using Cedega and my hardware is
gefore 7900 GS with 2gigs ram and Athlon64 and WoW works quiet ok at
about 40fps 1024x768 res.
I would put it that it's down to anywhere between 25% to 50% less
performance than on windows depending on where you are in WoW and number
of mobs/players in your area.
