I've just removed 1.8 and installed 2.1 devel, and now foobar2000 and Excel
take 30 seconds to one minute to launch.
> wine foobar2000

[...long pause...; nothing in the console...]
[...foobar2000 finally shows it UI...]
Quit foobar2000

sure that ntlm_auth >= 3.0.25 is in your path. Usually, you can find it in the
winbind package of your distribution.

Update: turns out the Gecko installer was stuck downloading. After canceling
the download, applications start fast.

Still something worth looking into maybe?

And how do I finish properly installing Gecko?

You can manually download the .msi and put it in ~/.cache/wine/, see
