Interesting - performance issues in Natural Selection 2 dedicated server

[Scott Ritchie]

The game is still in beta development, but I just learned something odd
- there are no Linux server binaries (yet), and a lot of admins are
running the dedicated server using Wine.

Wine works, but is actually performing fairly poorly here.  I find this
really interesting, as the dedicated server isn't graphical in any way.

Would profiling here be worthy of pursuing?  Are there known areas of
bad performance other than graphics?

Thanks,
Scott Ritchie

Profiling definitely sounds like a good idea. At a guess I'd say the
issue lies somewhere in the communication needed with wineserver,
which in many cases may have much higher overhead than native windows.
