The results I'm seeing on my nVidia based laptop under Linux are comparable if not better than Windows 8.
This under both L4D2 and HL2.
Quite remarkably wine managed to pull >80% of native performance under HL2ep1.

I can only assume that CSMT will further improve the Steam engine performance.
I do plan to test CSMT with wine as soon as I have some free time. I've got an on-going X3:TC game that I cannot convert to the native Linux version due to excessive customization that for the life of me I cannot reproduce (Oh, the irony!). Being severely CPU bottle-necked (The X engine is single threaded) CSMT might actually be a life-saver. (At least until I finally give up and switch to the native Linux version of X3:TC/AP...)
Thanks for the SteamPipe head's up. I'll give it a test.

I'm going to test the open source R600 driver with CSMT on my laptop as I was already getting quite good Source engine performance with stock wine.
As for Linux native issues, yeah there are still some bugs to be worked around. Native source games don't work in fullscreen using my default window manager, ratpoison, so I have to temporarily switch to fluxbox. Whereas Wine's multiple fullscreen options tend to work one way or another.

I haven't tested on Windows native yet but I was getting only somewhat slower than native linux performance for Half Life 2: Lost Coast. Certainly it will depend on the specific hardware and drivers (I'm using a nvidia 660 with binary drivers).

I assume you're using 1.7.1?
