So after searching the internet about the command WINEDEBUG that you put in your shortcuts for better performance I've noticed many inconsistincies with the command. Here's a list of variants I've found that people say to use:
WINEDEBUG=-fixme-all
WINEDEBUG="-fixme-all"
WINEDEBUG=-all
WINEDEBUG="-all"

So.....what I'm wondering is which command WORKS. Are the quotes needed? is the fixme part needed? Any clarification would be greatly appreciated.

You don't need the quotes around the debug parameter. By specifying the removal of a certain debug channel like "-fixme", you are only supressing messages with that prefix, but all other messages are allowed, which is really only useful if you are troubleshooting a specific problem. To get the potential performance improvement, you should use the "-all" option, which basically turns off debugging:
WINEDEBUG=-all wine foo.exe
