Thank you for the answers, turns out I now have a correctly running NeoLemmix through Wine on Ubuntu. Things I did and how it helped for those who might need it :
* went to fullscreen mode (despite Wine warning against it). Turned off all the Ubuntu thingies like toolbars and such that refused to go away while fullscreen.
This solved most of the problems at once : no more lag, and fast forward works almost all the time. When it does not, I need to Zoom In and Out a couple times and Fast Forward becomes effective again. Who knows ?
* turned off HQ minimap (high-res was already off). FPS seems a little better and I did not experience the need zoom and out for Fast Forward to work.
So all is fine now.
On another subject, I did play throught the whole Genesis Lemmings game as a kid and really enjoyed it, that's why I'm coming back to Lemmings after all those years. I can quite quickly clear the Lemmings Redux levels as they work about like Genesis games.
I also definitely love the plethora of users-made levels, good job but Gosh !, some of them are quite tough for me. Currently stuck at only level 3 of Kieran's Quest : The Tree of Life...
[EDIT] : oh well, right after posting this I launched the game again and cleared the Tree of Life. That's what I love about Lemmings, they have you think even when you're not playing. Hint for this one : trees are good, do not destroy them.
