It's not unusual to see better performance on Wine compared to native Windows. Wine is a compatibility layer, not an emulator. So there's not a lot of overhead. Additionally, vanilla Windows has a lot of background bloat consuming resources.
Internet searches show many instances of people reporting higher FPS in games on Wine vs vanilla Windows (on the same machine).
That's actually excellent. I knew that 'Wine Is Not an Emulator' from their web page but I didn't know I could expect better performance in anything running with it.
