[Bug 31055] New: Sonic The Hedgehog 4 very slow on multicore cpu

Bug #: 31055
           Summary: Sonic The Hedgehog 4 very slow on multicore cpu
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.5.7
          Platform: x86-64
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]
    Classification: Unclassified

Sonic The Hedgehog 4 episode 1 and 2 is very slow on multicore cpus. Used
schedtool (to define the affinity. e.g. schedtool -a 0x1 -e wine ... ) the
performance improves considerably but still keeps a bit out of normal.

Have you tried this on Windows with a multi-core cpu?

yes, works perfectly on windows.

With the schedtool the game seems to lose performance by showing the reflection
of the sun that exists at the background of the scenario. In these stages there
is no reflexes the game works perfectly (with schedtool and affinity for one
core).

Wine floods the console with d3d messages in this situation. I disabled
messages by WINEDEBUG variable, but there was no gain in performance.

flood:

I understand that the problem is not performance, the animations just seem to
move slowly. I think something like a "speed hack" could bypass the problem.

This same problem occurred with the need for speed II, Sim City 3000, and
recently with the Crashday Universal (build 103 ~ 106)

In the case of Crashday Universal i could solve the problem by installing
directx9, DirectMusic, msxml3 and vcrun2010, and run with schedtool

With the other games schedtool solve the problem (without installing anything
with winetricks)

With the Sonic The Hedgehog 4 schedtool shows some difference, but not
completely solve the problem and the solution of the Crashday seems not take
effect with Sonic.

With 64-bit and 32-bit wineprefixes the same problem occurs.

I guess strange that this problem affects so many applications and has not yet
been resolved.

This is your friendly reminder  that there has been no bug activity for two
years. Is this still an issue in current (1.7.25 or newer) wine?
