I have read that linux users use wine too since it works better that native linux version. I don't have check this but i can only guess the windows version receive the most care of any versions.
I have play a bit with wine since and found that i no more freeze if i use windows version over windows XP in winecfg. The downside is the game is less smooth now. I still test the best combo.

Native linux version runs, performance wise, better on linux without wine if and only if you use proprietary graphics drivers. Yet there are some years old graphics bugs no one fixed .. such as son of the wind animation bug, or stalagmite going the other way. If you use opensource drivers (such as on amd or intel cards), there is also missing water. Running the game under wine fixes all the graphical issues, but it runs slower if you don't use opensource AMD drivers (radeonsi). With opensource radeonsi driver, you can use special version of wine compiled with support for NATIVE gallium DirectX 9 implementation. When I did that, I got 10 more FPS with AMD A10-7850 integrated graphics at 1920x1080 resolution with much nice graphical details, including shadows, correctly rendered water and more, all with stable 60 fps (vsync). Conclusion: use Wine under Linux to run regnum if you have AMD card or if you have another card and don't want graphical bugs. Otherwise use native.
I have no experience with Mac OS, can't help with that. Someone mentioned it is linux based - it is based on BSD.
