ntsync is a new driver included in kernel 6.14, it significantly improves Wine
performance (usually 40-200% according to the author:
https://lwn.net/Articles/962325/ ). Unfortunately it is currently disabled in
6.14.3-1~exp1, so users are forced to rebuild the whole kernel just to enable
it: see https://wiki.debian.org/Wine/NtsyncHowto . The corresponding config
param: CONFIG_NTSYNC.

Thanks!
