Are there any other benchmarks we should consider adding?
Eve Online: - there are many Eve players who depend on wine, so making it run faster should make many happy - lots of graphics options (so many different aspects can be tested)
Downside is that it is an MMORPG, and I don't know how easy it can be scripted. Maybe some other Eve players here have more experience with that. There is an in-game FPS window which draws a graph, but I'm not sure about writing FPS to files. Also, there is both a live server (Singularity) and a test server (Tranquility).
Another problem is that wine-1.43 seems to give an error with d3d when starting up (unimplemented function d3dx9_36.dll.D3DXCreateEffectEx -- I did notice there is a recent patch in git that adds a stub). I should reinstall the game with an empty prefix and test again. A few wine betas ago it was surely working, so if there are any regressions they will hopefully be fixed soon.
