[Bug 29105] New: Stutter during file loading using DirectX

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29105

Bug #: 29105
           Summary: Stutter during file loading using DirectX
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.3.32
          Platform: x86-64
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: directx-d3d
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]
    Classification: Unclassified

When things load using the DirectX renderer, the on screen display stutters. As
in there is a noticeable stop and then continues.

This is heavily evident in Starcraft and World of Warcraft.

I think this is a bug with the DirectX component as when using the OpenGL
renderer for warcraft (ie, effectively bypassing DirectX emulation) there is no
stutter. The same amount of disk activity occurs though, which suggests that
something in the DirectX emulation is blocking the thread.

If this could be fixed then it will probably improve the performance of many
games.

There's probably a duplicate bug about this, but I couldn't find anything and I
cannot really provide anything more technical.

What terminal output would you like (ie wine debug flags) over how long a
period?

In general, don't set WINEDEBUG unless it is requested. Just run the program
and capture stderr/stdout to a file.

Is this is still an issue in current (1.7.7 or newer) wine?
