------- Additional Comments From dank@kegel.com 2006-23-06 01:25 ------- Here's one other place firefox is slow in wine: the little animation that announces download is complete. Look at the output of top while that animation is running:
PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 5161 dank 15 0 11292 9000 600 S 65.2 1.7 12:56.70 wineserver 5155 dank 25 0 1742m 162m 11m R 28.6 32.4 17:19.76 firefox.exe
Both wineserver and firefox are using up boatloads of CPU time. Wineserver especially. That ought to be a nice little locus to track down for somebody looking for a speedup project...
