When engineering a complex system, it often makes sense to worry about correctness first, then performance. Optimizing something that's broken is a waste of effort. And worrying about cosmetic problems before things are usable is kind of like putting lipstick on a pig. But I agree that Wine is far enough along that it makes sense to fix performance and cosmetic problems, and although perhaps you can't tell, some have already been fixed. I expect we'll see more such improvements after the 1.0 release. - Dan
