To see how reasonable it might be to use OOo 2.0.1 and Firefox 1.5 under Wine routinely, I benchmarked their startup time on a Fedora Core 5 test 2 system under four conditions: native vs. with wine from cvs, and with 416MB RAM vs. 96 MB RAM (by booting with mem=96M; this was to simulate running on one of those cheapo 128MB boxes that uses shared video RAM). This was on a zippy Compaq Presario 3000 Athlon 64 3000+. All apps were downloaded from openoffice.org and mozilla.com.
Very interesting. Keep in mind that the FC5t2 kernels and libraries currently have some debugging stuff enabled that might have a big effect in these tests.
You should think about posting these results to the fedora-devel or fedora-test list.
