https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=40044 Bug ID: 40044 Summary: Wine prefix creation is really slow Product: Wine Version: 1.8 Hardware: x86 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org Reporter: post+wine(a)ralfj.de Distribution: --- This pretty much says it all: $ time WINEPREFIX=$(pwd)/tmpprefix wine echo wine: created the configuration directory '/home/r/Desktop/tmpprefix' Could not load wine-gecko. HTML rendering will be disabled. Could not load wine-gecko. HTML rendering will be disabled. wine: configuration in '/home/r/Desktop/tmpprefix' has been updated. wine: cannot find L"C:\\windows\\system32\\echo.exe" real 2m3.599s user 0m0.004s sys 0m0.008s This is on a system with 8GB RAM, a dual-core (four threads) CPU and a fast SSD. I don't know what takes it so long, but the time certainly seems excessive for creating a directory of 38 MiB. This hasn't always been that slow, but it's been slow for at least two years now. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.
