  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.
