So i have to ask, which .dll files are faster in wine than in windows? While some DLLs may have faster implementations of some Windows stuff, there is one main issue: They were written for Wine, not Windows. They're a bit different internally, so you'd need to get (part of) Wine running in Windows to get them running, and at that point, the speed benefit may be 100% gone. Besides that, a lot of the more important DLLs probably can't be replaced on Windows at all due to the fact they're implemented differently. As far as I know, only Wine's implementation of DirectX would work, and that one definitely isn't faster than Windows native DirectX.
