Description
Some programs (games especially) benefit when Wine is run in a separate xserver. Some users have developed programs and scripts to do this automatically, but I think this can be improved and made an option in Wine.

Neat idea. I'll abstain from voting until I try it.

I'm very skeptical as to why this would help speed things up.
Any explanation of why? Because I would think it only creates more overhead

Hello? 76 people have voted this up, and nobody has even questioned why this would speed stuff up?
I assume this idea involves simply not running a desktop environment (to save ram and CPU)?
In which case you aren't running wine in a seperate Xserver at all...

Btw, this is one problem with Brainstorm. The moment someone mentions "optimisation" or something that obviously doesn't act as expected, everyone is quick to up-vote it.
However, in many cases, the idea may not be valid

Ok.. I'm voting this -1.
It seems to suggest running 2 X11 servers, which just creates overhead, and even if it means 1, that can be done with the kiosk mode idea posted much earlier.
