[Bug 30787] New: Heroes of Might and Magic V Map Editor takes minutes to start up (winver>=Win2000)

Bug #: 30787
           Summary: Heroes of Might and Magic V Map Editor takes minutes
                    to start up (winver>=Win2000)
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.5.5
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]
    Classification: Unclassified

winedbg backtrace during the busy state

It takes 3-4 minutes until the Map Editor for HoMM V appears when Windows
version is set to Win2000 or higher in winecfg. Using Win9x/Me, or WinNT40/35
profiles, the editor loads up in less than 10 seconds.

Wine doesn't print anything in the terminal until the editor window appears.
There is no hdd activity, but cpu usage is constantly ~100 % while Wine is busy
with loading the editor.

If I attach winedbg to the H5_MapEditor.exe process, I always get the same
backtrace as can be seen in the attachment.

It should be noted that bug #29603 describes a very similar problem. Of course
I have no proof if they're about the same problem, but the similarities are
striking.

With WINEDEBUG=warn+heap there is only one warning just as the application
starts:
warn:heap:validate_block_pointer Heap 0x110000: pointer 0x34eb80 is not inside
heap

then two more added as the editor window finally appears:
warn:heap:validate_block_pointer Heap 0x110000: pointer 0x33cf40 is not inside
heap
warn:heap:validate_block_pointer Heap 0x110000: pointer 0x33dc50 is not inside
heap

Memory consumption isn't changing considerably during the long 'busy' period.
It reaches the top  right after the application was started:
VIRT: 1585M   RES: 123M  SHR: 18988

When the editor window appears:
VIRT: 1694M   RES: 232M  SHR: 66644

What could be the difference between Win98 and WinXP modes in Wine which makes
such a long loading time?

This is your friendly reminder that there has been no bug activity for 2 years.
Is this still an issue in current (1.7.28 or newer) wine? If so, please attach
the terminal output in 1.7.28 (see http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#get_log).

Still present in wine-1.7.28, but starting times are similar:
 * Win98: 1min 35sec
 * WinXP: 1min 21sec

Yes, in recent Wine versions loading times are roughly the same whether I'm
using the default WinXP profile or Win98 profile (more than 3 minutes on my
system).
It's probably because nowadays Wine uses the built-in msvc* dlls unless you
override them in winecfg.
The game comes bundled with it's own msvcp71 and msvcr71 dlls, if I override
msvcr71 to native,builtin, then the map editor loads in less than 5 seconds in
Win98 mode.
Native msvcr71 has no effect on loading times when using the default XP
profile, interestingly.

wine-1.7.49-104-gbd7f43d
Fedora 22 32-bit
Tested with the GOG.com version

The problem doesn't occur in recent Wine (tested in 3.13). This ticket can be
closed as fixed.
