Yeah, the GDI is slow. I'd be interested to see a quote from one of the Wine-based companies.
How much slower is it? I know it'll be slower than the MS native implementation simply because it's not been fully optimized, but most apps I run under Wine have perfectly acceptable graphics performance. The most noticable problems are related to flickering in fact. Are we talking raw API performance or real world stuff that users would notice?
There used to be a benchmark suite called "Winbench", that tried to load real world applications and see how fast the performed various operations. Anyone has a recent version?
