What is often overlooked

Those benchmarks compare Wine NTSYNC against upstream vanilla Wine, which means there’s no fsync or esync either. Gamers who use fsync are not going to see such a leap in performance in most games.

Ntsync is great and there will be performance improvement. But not exactly massive

I remember hearing that Ntsync isn’t even faster than fsync in general use, just in some rare corner cases
It fixed the lag spikes I experienced playing some of the older Call of Duty titles so it’s overall been a huge upgrade for me.
