Well, since Wine is just another piece of software between the OS and the
COD application it has to take up
more cpu power (and RAM) then the pure binaries would.

The Vmware solution uses a lot more CPU power then the Linux bins
version. When I compare my COD4 linux bins with my COD5 Vmware version
it is 25 % against 5 % in idle state on a low power Intel Atom 230 1,6
GHz board. I didn't notice any lag while playing on the server.
My Vmware COD5 server is online so if you want to try it be my guest:
cod.blutch.nl:28961 (http://www.blutch.nl)
Is there anyone with a Wine version online?
