Wine claims to emulate Windows 95, and as such it should aim that each program (no matter how buggy) runs under Wine as good as under Windows 95.
We aim more at XP/Vista these days, actually. Regardless, this kind of problem is hardly limited to applications originally written for Win95. There are enough applications aimed at 2000 or XP that suffer from threading issues simply because they were written before multicore machines were widespread. If we wanted to do something about this in Wine, I'd say it would be more useful to be able to set CPU affinity per application in winecfg, regardless of the selected Windows version. I'm not convinced the existing Linux tools are inadequate for this though.
