[Bug 47158] New: FantaMorph 5 is very slow

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47158

Bug ID: 47158
           Summary: FantaMorph 5 is very slow
           Product: Wine
           Version: 4.7
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: gdiplus
          Assignee: [e-mail]
          Reporter: [e-mail]
      Distribution: ---

The program works fine, bzt it's very slow. I didn't work much with it, but the
loading takes multiple seconds.

"winetricks gdiplus" makes it a lot faster.

It needs additional workaround:

winetricks vb6run

otherwise error is displayed:

0024:err:module:import_dll Library msvbvm60.dll (which is needed by
L"C:\FantaMorph5\FantaMorph.exe") not found

Unfortunately I was not able to run this program.

I had freezing issue described in bug report:

Just retested, it works for me, but this issue is still present as of
wine-7.22. The initial load takes about 5 seconds with builtin gdiplus.

I'm obviously not sure about this but I mostly suspect these performance issues
to be rooted in some other library implementation.

As is, there is little or no algorithms in gdiplus, and consequently, little to
optimize. It mostly wraps around other libraries and system API.

There are some software rendering and image data conversion paths that are not
optimized and are likely to be slow.

In Wine 8.9 there were gdiplus performance optimization:
https://www.winehq.org/announce/8.9

Please retest and check if there is any improvement.

I don't see any noticeable improvements using 8.9.

Please install Oprofile and get report from it. For Ubuntu the instruction will
be:

1. Install Oprofile:
  sudo apt install oprofile
2. Set /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid to 1:
  sudo nano /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid
3. Run the Fantamorph executable:
  operf wine <Fantamorph executable>
4. Create report:
  opreport --symbols --threshold=1
5. Attach report into bug report.

I tried, but after the splash screen the application immediately closes.
Running under oprofile seems to break something.
