With some games, the framerate under Wine was better than under Windows. When
it comes to running native, a recent benchmark showed Linux performance being
20% higher in GNU/Linux (albeit it's game- and card-dependent). With Vista,
things get even /more/ interesting because it is much slower than XP and SP1
will offer nothing when it comes to performance, according to recent research.
