Wine vs Windows Benchmarks

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the coming-right-along dept.

PeterBrett writes "Tom Wickline recently posted to the Wine development list announcing that he'd done some benchmarks comparing Windows XP to Wine. They should be taken with the requisite dose of salt, but Wine has certainly come a long way."

    Yes.

    BIG yes.

    How to put this: while there may not be a default gentoo install that includes X, let's say this. Gentoo with all of the frills still boots faster and performs faster than any Fedore Core install period.

    I'm not pulling that out of my butt, either, that's from experience. Having both FC and Gentoo installed on identical hardware... gentoo will boot to X far faster than FC can get to a terminal. I have yet to find a distro that matches gentoo in speed, and I'm not saying "pmfg -O3!!three!!11!".

    Mm. This sort of thing keeps up, and I garontee I'll finally be able to ditch the Windows.

    Now if only it performs as spankily under OS X on 2nd gen Intel Desktop Pro Macs....

    That would be one tasty dish indeed! Vraiment!

    Vive le bon Acadien!

    Well, at least now you don't have to worry about being a karma whore.
