By what measurements? Because your statement with the way Wine works this is in Assembly language CPU Cycles basically technically impossible.

Refresh rate performance of my 10ms refreshing charts, and chart load times, and it is possible, because i saw large performance improvement in the overall computer when switching from win to linux

That's great to hear but if you would put SC Windows and SC Linux Wine side by side I think the result would surprise you.

Are you trolling the thread? I did put it side by side, Ive ran windows, and now linux. And im telling you, my linux is faster in every way

he's right though, it's technically impossible for sc running on wine linux to be faster than sc running natively on windows. i recall even the sc engineering team acknowledged this.

my system as a whole, the entire operating system, on my hardware, everything, operates much faster on linux than it was on windows

What I do I watch the cpu usage percentages as a whole and in Linux the values are way much lower. You can also feel it when operating with the charts. Out of the box Linux is not as bloated what Windows is and I think Linux has a better task scheduler too. The latest Phoronix speed comparisons confirms this too.

But the wine is a problem when loading history data over the internet. Windows does it way much faster.

Btw.
In SC I switched to Debian/wine few years ago and never looked back. Very happy with it. I have been a Linux user something about 23 years now. Today all my desktops, laptops and mobile devices are based on Linux. Windows is history for me.

To get better download times on the internet, can I write my own Linux native downloader for "Historical Daily and Intraday Data" ie. Is it possible to log in to the historical data server from external programs (with my credentials)?
