File a bug report?

[Gilles May]

Hi everybody.

After updating WINE to from 0.9.49 to 0.9.50 I noticed major slowdown in
Company of Heroes, to the point that I get like 1 Frame every 2 seconds.
Wine spams the console with:

fixme:d3d_shader:IWineD3DVertexShaderImpl_CompileShader Vertexshader
0x4d20b78 recompiled more than 50 times

Trying to find out the cause for the slowdown I did my first attempt at
using git bisect and I could trace the slowdown to this patch:

    wined3d: Track vertex declaration changes on vertex shaders.
   
    If an attribute has type D3DDECLTYPE_D3DCOLOR, the red and blue channels
    are swizzled in the shader. Since the attribute is stored in the vertex
    declaration and not the vertex shader, it can change by setting a new
    vertex declaration. If this happens, we have to recompile the shader
    with the swizzling of that specific attribute turned on or off.

Now without that patch there is slight texture corruption in the game,
with the patch it's much much less but it renders the game unplayable.
The reason I didn't file a bug report is that I am not sure if it is
really a bug or not since obviously the patch fixes in-game texture
corruption.
