Can something which increases overhead by dozens of times really be called an optimization? CPU utilization is a completely meaningless metric when that utilization is literally doing a tenth of what it should be because most of that overhead has absolutely nothing to do with what games actually should be trying to do.

Well it's been amazing for quite a while with Gallium Nine.
Too bad it's never gonna land in mainline Wine.

I'm just waiting for better (and affordable) AMD GPU's so I can play all Blizzard games on max gfx and 1440p at 60 fps.

I have been using PortableApps within a folder in Dropbox for several years and it works fine with windblows. Only recently has it really started to work with Linux. So Wine is definitely improving. But there are still problems and some of the apps just will not launch or have crippled functions. Can't wait for the day they all run perfectly in Linux
