[Bug 26196] New: Need a way to force processor affinity / or force single core

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26196

Summary: Need a way to force processor affinity / or force
                    single core
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.3.14
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

It does not appear possible to run a wine command with schedtool processor
affinity and have it carry on to what wine actually runs.

I tried it with steam and couldn't get it to do so in the initial command. (you
can do so after running, but then this get's very bad with full screen
games/etc)

I suggest it is added as an option in winecfg, possibly to just force single
core.

Then file a bug with schedtool developers.

The problem is that at some point wine resets the affinity.  I am pretty sure
that is a wine issue.

It is possible to reset the affinity with schedtool later.

My suggestion is for making it a config option.
