I remember running warcraft 3 under Wine in a Lan party.

At one point, during a Dota match, every single Windows machine crashed. And my Linux machine was the only one left in the server.

So not only does it run faster but it's more stable too.

Back in 2005 or so I was playing WoW under Wine, and surprisingly it was faster on my crappy PC at that time, because it used less RAM!
