[Bug 29708] New: Wine processes take ages to start on Solaris

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29708

Bug #: 29708
           Summary: Wine processes take ages to start on Solaris
           Product: Wine
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]
    Classification: Unclassified

Winetest takes ages to complete on Solaris, particularly on Solaris 10: about
80 minutes.

I instrumented winetest to trace the time it takes to run each test and the
result is eloquent: starting a Wine process takes 4 to 5 seconds on Solaris 10.
With some grepping of the logs I built the following table which shows this
issue. Note that all operating systems are running inside VMware on the same
machine (one at a time of course), so they should all have the same
performance.

120-      1         8           9

Also note that this is not the first-process start delay since winetest.exe is
already running. I took a trace with +timestamp but it only showed the last 0.6
seconds of execution so more digging is needed.

You should test on real hardware. We do a bunch of syscalls for memory
reservation and that's probably slow on virtual machines.

I don't have real hardware...

This is your friendly reminder that there has been no bug activity for 2 years.
Is this still an issue in current (1.7.16 or newer) wine?

I have been unable to run the tests on Solaris lately due to a Linux NFS bug
:-(

--- Comment #6 from François Gouget  ---
Solaris is not a supported Wine platform these days. I don't think anyone has
even compiled Wine on Solaris in the past several years.

So I'm closing this bug.
