It's been done.  See e.g.
http://www.fpsadmin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=16481
for how one fellow ran a game server in wine.

Yes, it would be interesting to run ab or dkftpbench against
an http or ftp server running on wine.

There has long been talk of doing that.  Linus is
even willing to take patches to implement win32 APIs
in the linux kernel.
But it turns out to not be what most people need.

If you want to do some server performance stress testing
and file bugs for problems you find, by all means, go ahead!
