It's not just faster, but less overhead overall. Even if you're just running Windows XP in the VM you have all the overheard of Linux or Mac AND the overhead of VirtualBox (or whatever the VM is) AND Windows.
Wine runs pretty well these days, especially for something as simple as GCA. Heck, I've seen a few higher end games play faster on Wine than an actual copy of Windows.
