shows yesterday's wine's performance compared to today's.

was a win.

Here are a few notes about the raw results.

A couple benchmarks (really short ones?) seem to have strongly bimodal distributions on Wine.

For instance, here are ten measurements on each OS of 3dmark06_CPU2_Red_Valley:

wine-1.1.44-19 1.33 �1.36 �1.36 �1.36 �1.37 �1.37 �1.37 �1.37 �1.37 �1.37�

wine-1.1.44-72 1.30 �1.31 �1.31 �1.31 �1.31 �1.32 �1.32 �1.32 �1.32 �1.38 �

Vista � � � � �1.39 �1.39 �1.39 �1.39 �1.39 �1.39 �1.39 �1.39 �1.39 �1.39�

For some reason, today's wine usually had the slow result, whereas yesterday

it usually had the fast result. Vista didn't suffer from this, and was slightly faster, too.

Why does Wine return a slow result sometimes?�

3dmark2000_Game_1_Helicopter_High_Detail was quite variable under Wine

(and slightly better today), but hardly varied at all on Vista:

wine-1.1.44-19 133.70 133.90 141.60 145.00 145.40 151.60 159.30 161.80 164.40 173.60�

wine-1.1.44-72 139.50 144.70 154.10 157.40 157.90 162.40 170.50 178.80 180.80 198.60�

Vista � � � � �281.60 282.50 282.90 283.20 283.40 283.60 283.70 283.80 284.00 284.50�

What can explain such variability?

heaven2_d3d9_FPS, on the other hand, didn't vary much on Wine - and was quite a bit better today:

wine-1.1.44-19 �9.23 �9.28 �9.30 �9.30 �9.30 �9.31 �9.31 �9.32 �9.32 �9.32 ��

wine-1.1.44-72 11.05 11.07 11.07 11.07 11.08 11.08 11.08 11.09 11.10 11.10�

Vista � � � � �18.37 18.37 18.38 18.38 18.38 18.38 18.38 18.38 18.38 18.38�

to see if I can reduce the noise a bit more.
