Phoronix might provide per-commit performance testing for Wine (Awesome!!!)

"Earlier today we then called out for benchmarking requests as what we 
should track next using our testing and execution framework (so far the 
likely contender is seeing how Wine's performance is evolving on a 
per-commit basis, but let us know what you think)"

This would be incredibly helpful and I think we should collaborate more 
directly.  I'd like to see Phoronix Test Suite's (under development) 
Windows version run regularly in Wine as well.

I've copied Michael Larabel from Phoronix here, I'm hoping he will join 
the discussion.  I'm willing to help Michael get Windows Phoronix 
working in Wine, if need be.  Needless to say, thanks in advance :)

Thanks,

Hi Scott,

Yes we are looking at the possibility of pairing Phoromatic Tracker with 
Wine, such as we have been doing already with our daily Linux kernel 
benchmarks[1] and Ubuntu development packages[2].

Next week we should be hitting the first major milestone for the Windows 
support with a number of the test profiles becoming functionally 
equivalent to their Linux/BSD/OSX/OpenSolaris versions, so after that 
point I can look more closely at the Wine support. There are some Wine 
test profiles already, but I'm devising a way right now within the 
infrastructure to allow all of the Windows test profiles to optionally 
and transparently function against a Wine back-end.

days, there was a problem with the systems]
