article from February, anybody got benchmarks? pretty sure this is long since merged and working iirc
It is merged in 6.10 which is about to be released on Sunday (14 July)
It's not merged, but the benchmarks are against upstream wine. Proton has hacks (fsync) that have almost identical performance uplift but were not suited to upstreaming.
So basically this will improve "correctness" versus current Proton, not performance. Should fix some bugs and improve compatibility.
Versus stock wine, it's a huge perf uplift though.

Presumably they wanted something a bit more thorough and clear than a table of numbers with no information besides:
These tests were done on various hardware running games, both old and new, with and without the new driver being active.
