Bug #7551 is closed but I'd like to comment upon WinRAR.

In wine 0.9.54 both CPU cores are used but average CPU usage in SMP mode is
140-160%, thus WinRAR/wine doesn't fully utilize CPU resources and its
performance in SMP mode increases only %20-30 vs ~ 90% increase in speed in
Windows.

`top` stats:

Cpu0  : 73.3%us,  3.7%sy,  0.0%ni, 22.7%id,  0.0%wa,  0.3%hi,  0.0%si,  0.0%st
Cpu1  : 68.3%us,  9.0%sy,  0.0%ni, 22.7%id,  0.0%wa,  0.0%hi,  0.0%si,  0.0%st

WinRar performance in Wine:

Single core: 647KB/sec
Dual   core: 764-823KB/sec (the speed changes up and down all the time)

WinRar performance in Windows XP SP2:

Single core: 660KB/sec
Dual   core: 1100KB/sec
