what sort of question is that?
the answer is this:
[size=24]NO![/size]
here's the slightly longer version, which people with ADD will tend not to be able to read the whole way through...
Wine Is Not an Emulator, is what WINE stands for. This is because WINE does this thing where it acts as an interface between linux and a windows binary application. whenever the application makes a call to windows, WINE intercepts it and translates it into a Linux call. whenever Linux tries to communicate to the application, WINE does the same thing in reverse and tries to convert the calls back to what the application will understand. This is analogous to those UN delegates who have their own interpreters.
This can slow down the apparent speed of the program, but it is in NO way slowing your PC down in any way. It is my experience in fact that linux runs as fast as a cheetah compared with windows (although this depends HUGELY on how you have it configured) on comparable hardware. This fact alone might well mean that your windows programs could run at the same speed or faster than they did under windows. but they could run slower too.
BUT your PC is in no way affected by WINE, no.
