While not strictly emulation per se (hence why stands for 'Wine Is Not an Emulator'), compatibility layers allow software written for one operating system to run on a different OS, often by translating API and system calls made by an application to their equivalent calls in the host operating system. In theory, this should allow for near-native performance since no processor emulation takes place, but in practice some software such as games will tend to run a bit slower due to other bottlenecks that occur as a result of, such as accounting for graphics APIs like Direct3D that aren't supported on non-Microsoft platforms.
