Majii is right. The emulators aren't slow. In my experience, WINE was very quick and helped me a lot in those rare cases where there was a program with no linux program alternative (without any noticeable decrease in performance).

Not to mention, even virtualization is a fantastic solution. Using the non-free (Free for use, source remaining unavailable) edition of VirtualBox, with WINE DirectX modules, and a copy of Windows XP running under the VM, you'll be able to run many games not working under WINE (This is especially useful in environments where a more aggressive anti-cheat setup is used, such as GameGuard, Hackshield, etc).

by own experience I know they are slower. maybe not noticeable for common uses but its very noticeable when doing a render or a simulation.
for example when doing 3D fluid simulations you need all your Memory and your processor in use to do it because it normally takes hours.
