Nope -- It's a very native Linux application, and has the performance to
prove it.  Very snappy on my system.

Picasa uses WINE, but from their FAQ:

Q:  Will more Google applications be ported to Linux under Wine?

If Picasa for Linux is successful, then other Google applications (and
future versions of Picasa) may also be ported using Wine.  (Google Earth
won't be one of them, though; it will be a native Linux application.)
