Remember that wine is just a Windows API/wrapper around Linux.  You will
not get the same performance you would running IE under Windows as a
native application.

Is there a reason you need IE?  Firefox is considered the best
replacement and there's a native Linux implementation of it (it's what
ships with FC3).  Most people I know are dropping IE in favor of Firefox
for security and performance reasons.

If you're visiting websites that are IE-specific, you really should
badger the admins of those sites to open them up.
