Summary: Firefox unusable when computer loaded down [dogfood] Product: Wine Version: 1.0-rc2 Platform: Other OS/Version: other Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: dank@kegel.com
If I'm running, say, the wine test suite in the background, Firefox 3 in wine slows to an unusable crawl, whereas native Firefox 3 purrs along like a tiger still.
I guess that's the kind of thing a kernel module might help with. Maybe I should try giving wineserver a priority boost.
