It may be an issue with data compression...

I believe the issue is not necessarily related to compression, but rather to how Wine's compatibility layer functions. Specifically, Wine translates Windows socket API calls into Linux system calls. It could also be an implementation-related problem, but without access to the source code, it's difficult to say for certain. Regardless, this additional translation layer will introduce additional latency and CPU overhead.

This could easily be resolved by developing my own native Linux program to connect to the data farm and download the data directly into .scid files, but unfortunately, that is not a supported option.
