Yes the problem is with Wine, but Sierra Chart has no high-frequency calls into the operating system other than for graphics in order to draw a chart:

I see the origin of the problem in the Wine layer, which does not like certain high frequency kernel calls. I think this could be solved with a better implementation of the download process, but I'm not sure without seeing the source code.
During data downloading there are no calls to the operating system at all. There is only a notification from the operating system that a buffer has been filled with data. Sierra Chart does have to call a function to determine that. But that function blocks until there is an event the operating system needs to notify about (GetQueuedCompletionStatus). And Sierra Chart uses an INFINITE wait with it. It is all extremely efficient.
