This is a common misconception. Applications running under wine are running native. There is no runtime translation of instructions in wine. Wine Is Not an Emulator :) wine is a reimplementation of the windows libraries. There is no technical reason why applications linking to the wine libs couldn't run as fast as under windows proper, or even faster. There is anecdotal evidence that certain games running under wine run faster than under windows.
Problem is not in speed :-) Problem is in quality.
