Windows applications can be executed without any problems using WINE

You're failing the comparison point.
Meassuring apples against bananas.
We cannot compare gui applications against console apps.
Console ones are faster even on windows.
Unless you are developpping a web server, i/o access is a minimal part
of all your app running time.
Even considering that, most apps are running over a network and
performance is even worst and people are used to it.
Until Harbour has a working GUI development API, denigrating WINE is a
no-no, as for now, is the only usable platform on the linux world for
real apps.
If you want to achieve optimus performance then you have to make real 2
or 3 tier apps. Tier 1:being a gui app client under wine or anything
else. Tier 2: a console app server under pure linux and an opcional 3rd.
Tiers with a rdbms if you don't like dbfs.
The serious candidate for this is uhttpd but the are missing a protocol
for serialize-transmit-deserialize data in a 2 way relationship.
Just my humble oppinion about our technological status.
Let's work all together to improve this marvelous plattform instead.
My hat off for this great meeting of great programmers Harbour has earned.

Angel
