Given that the rewrite happens at shutdown (and asynchronously) it's not going to make the slightest difference for app startup times...
Orly? Say we run a simple tiny application like ... notepad, after which wine server almost instantly exits, then read my point below: Since Wine stores registry as a text file, installing the complete, say, MS Office 2003 plus Corel Draw X4/X5 may easily swell registry up to 50MB in size and on a highly fragmented laptop drive, writing out such a file may easily take ten seconds or even more. That means a subsequent notepad run may be severely delayed until Wine server finishes dumping the registry to a HDD. I don't have a laptop, I don't have these applications installed and I have a speed desktop drive (Seagate 7200.12) with almost zero fragmentation so my results will be quite meaningless. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.
