What is often overlooked

Those benchmarks compare Wine NTSYNC against upstream vanilla Wine, which means there's no fsync or esync either. Gamers who use fsync are not going to see such a leap in performance in most games.

Ntsync is great and there will be performance improvement. But not exactly massive

XDA was not always this sensationalist. With that said, I always welcome performance improvements.

XDA will write articles these days like:

  • How this wallpaper has proven how I’ve been using computers wrong for 30 years
  • These gloves improved my typing speed 300%
  • I painted my NAS red and you won’t believe the improvements
