When engineering a complex system, it often makes sense to
worry about correctness first, then performance.  Optimizing
something that's broken is a waste of effort.  And worrying about
cosmetic problems before things are usable is kind of like putting
lipstick on a pig.

But I agree that Wine is far enough along that it makes sense
to fix performance and cosmetic problems, and although perhaps
you can't tell, some have already been fixed.
I expect we'll see more such improvements after the 1.0 release.
