Summary: photodex plug in or self contained exe's uses 100% CPU
           Product: Wine
           Version: CVS
          Platform: PC
               URL: http://www.photodex.com/sharing/spotlight/demoshows_prod

        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: wine-misc

Photodex is a slide show presenter which allows zooms, pans and fades in sync
with a music track. Testing done under win98 and wine cvs using  AMD 2.5Ghz 333
Mhz fsb  ll in one mother board  with 1 GB ddr.

Install firefox for windows in wine. Visit the url and install the plug in. When
the plug in is active, running or paused the processes wine-preloader X and
wineserver use 100% of the CPU. This results in choppy audio in ALSA config and
large blocks of static using OSS.

When running on same hardware on win98 and using system monitor these are the
numbers I get.
Boot
Kernel processor Usage 5%
Kernel Threads 31%

Firefox
Kernel processor Usage 5%
Kernel Threads 41%

Firefox with plug in loaded before running	
Kernel processor Usage 42%
Kernel Threads 46%

Running in window on firefox.
Kernel processor Usage peaks at 75%
Kernel Threads 46%

Full screen mode (right click menu) 1024x768 
Kernel processor Usage peaks at 90%
Kernel Threads 46%

This may be just that the thread switching overhead with the debug calls pushes
the cpu use to the limit of my hardware but a guess is the threading
model/method used is not meshing with wine implementation.
