Wine 1.7.6 console output

Under Windows XP BoincTasks runs at around 22% when updating (takes a few
seconds) but idles around 1-2%. Under Wine it runs around 60% all the time. I
cannot work out why. The exact same setup was tested in both cases.

Following install you are asked if you are running Windows or Linux with Wine,
choosing either option has the same effect.

wineserver is kept particularly busy at the same time. I don't know if this is
expected.

I don't see any unexpected CPU usage. BoincTasks idles at 0%, and goes to
around 2% when updating. I have yet to see Wineserver go above 0% when running
this application.

Wine 1.7.38
BoincTasks 1.66
