Hi,
I observe some problems with using Wine and recent 2.6 kernels.
System:
K6-2 @ 500 MHz
128 MB RAM
1 GB swap
Debian unstable
Workload:
XFree86
FVWM
XMMS
Wine running "Master of Orion 2" (a round based space strategy game)
With 2.4 kernels and 2.5.72 everything works fine.
With 2.6.0-test3 the XMMS sound sometimes sounds slow (like when wou
manually retard a record).
With 2.6.0-test3-mm3 I observe something like a complete trashing, until
I suspend or kill Wine the system (including Wine) is completely
unusable, even simple movements of the mouse cursor sometimes take
several seconds to show an effect.
RAM usage is low, even after a "swapoff -a" at about half of my RAM
would be enough.
The problems might be related to the fact that after I start Wine three
wine.bin processes run and each of them tries to get as much CPU time as
possible.
I'm willing to help with encircling the problem if someone tells me what
to search for.

Adrian
