Wine on Linux faster than XP?

Have you heard about Wine?
Actually Wine allowes you to run Windows programs in a Linux box without a hassel. Well do not think this as another Windows emulator. It provides the Win32 API for the programs so that they can run on Linux as would they run on WIndows. The remarkable thing about Wine is that it had shown more efficenty in running Windows programs than running in the Windows XP system itself! The recent benchmark results, BenchMark-0.9.5, had shown more improved performance in Wine compared to Windows XP. According the benchmark results it is noticable that Wine runs 3D programs with old 3D techniques faster. So, why not you give it a try.
