I was looking into updating the AppDB with more recent results for PCB Artist* and discovered that on a fresh Wine install that the application opens and creates new files incredibly slowly (it now takes 23 minutes vs. old performance of ~5 seconds).

On the most recent git all I see is a single instance of: fixme:storage:StgCreateDocfile Storage share mode not implemented.
Testing right after the patch in question is applied that message shows up a few more times, but all within the first minute or so of processing. However, this message also showed up in versions before the patch is applied.
If you would like you can download the application: http://www.4pcb.com/downloads/pcbartist/PcbArtist_1_3_2.exe
To see the problem (after installing): 1) Choose "New" from the "File" menu 2) Click "OK" 3) Click "I have read and accept the message above" 4) Click "Next" 7 times 5) Click "Finish"
It is important to note that once this process has run through that it does not necessarily need to be run again (I haven't seen this being 100% consistent). So, you'll need a fresh Wine prefix if you let it run all the way through the ~30 minutes of processing.

I've done a little bit of looking into this performance problem and I have discovered a fix (patch attached). Since I'm not familiar with the code here I would appreciate it if you would look it over and determine whether it is appropriate or it just covers over some other problem.
