Better performance should NEVER be a reason to use native .dll files. 
Implementing a
function that is NOT available through Wine, is.  However, you should
NEVER replace
a core dll with a native version unless you want trouble.  I would
rather that the development
team continue to implement functions and sometimes break some of the
functions of Wine
than to replace Wine dlls with native ones as a workaround.
