--- Comment #18 from Ralf Jung post+wine@ralfj.de --- I came here from https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=40044, all the details are over there. The short summary is: No application is involved, all I am doing is
rm ~/.wine/ -rf && time wine echo
This takes more than a minute. I don't have any network printers in the network I am *currently* connected to, but I do have two network printers set up in my CUPS. If I am in the network those printers are in, the above commands takes less than three seconds. When I used to have four network printers, the command took 2 minutes.
In other words, every network printer set up in CUPS that is not reachable currently makes wine prefix creation ~30 seconds slower.
