Hmm, the filesystem thing would be a constant slowdown, and there is the locking/async primitives that are generally better on Windows, but at least those are being worked on, both for Wine and Linux in general. I kind of recall reading about an option for ext4 to allow optional case insensitive operation? Ah! Recently added it seems. Needs a pretty recent kernel and a format-time config option that I doubt any linux distro is using yet, though [0]

I just meant that, in general, Wine should be very close to as fast on Windows, since it can usually implement win32 DLLs without much emulation/translation needed. Excepting all the bits that do :-)
