Which one is faster, crossover's wine32on64 or winehq's wow64? #91

Do you have any experience with the new Wine 9.0 Wow64 especially on opengl performance? wine32on64 usually is very bad at thunking 32 to 64 in performance perspective

As per Winehq-9.0 release notes for there WoW64 implementation.

Reduced OpenGL performance and lack of ARB_buffer_storage extension support.

CrossOver/wine-crossover only used wine32on64 from CX19 > CX22, CX23 and later uses what became upstream wines WoW64.

That would imply the new wow64 is significantly better thus the adoption and then the abandonment of wine32on64 right?

wine32on64 was a nasty hack and required a custom llvm/clang toolchain where upstreams WoW64 doesn't making it much easier to deal with.
