I remember when I used to run games via Wine over 15 years ago and they performed better than on similar hardware running Windows.

I don’t really think that’s a fair comparison when you’re emulating things and not running them natively.

Wine is not an emulator. It's a full implementation of the Windows API, which is why it's possible to get really good performance out of it in a way that pure software emulation can't match.

This is what Wine stands for! It's a recursive acronym.

I was hoping someone would spot that. :)
