If there is a Team Fortress 2 update that drops the FPS by 20% in Windows but 50% in Wine, shouldn't somebody know? Those kind of changes should be a good way to determine how Wine is working differently from Windows.

My experience is that many modern games (Source especially) run very poorly compared to Windows. Should I waste a few weeks trying to optimize a game if nobody can run it better than 50% FPS of Windows? Probably not, but right now there is no way to tell if that is the case. Just putting it out there it might be nice if there is a sensible way to track the relative performance of such software as the landscape changes.

This is exactly what the AppDB is for.
