I have not tried in under wine. I doubt it would work as little else that might want an internet hit does. Were it to work, I doubt it would run better or faster as using wine extracts its own performance penalty. I do miss the informative screensaver. With Linux, I just use tkseti to check on it, pause it if need be, etc. Also, under Linux, one can assign it a nice value keeping it out of the way of other applications. (Don't want that supposed 10% hit, assign a different nice number!). With Windows, well, you get whatever the default priorities give you.
