Hello, thanks again for your answer, especially for helping me. i will have a look at profiling, as i never used profiling for anything i hope that won't be as difficult as i think. I collected some other informations, i would be glad if you would have a look on that, too. Attached you'll find a .TXT containing some informations i found out by debugging wine and using grep > First, *do not run WINE as root*! This is strongly > discouraged practice. Run it under your usual user account. I know. I used root only because i was testing something else, where hardware access was required and i had problems with permissions. > What about debugging.

What you want to do is to profile WINE > not to debug it (in fact there is no bugs to debug in this case but > some inefficiencies in the code). I thought - Maybe (if i'm lucky) i'll find some interesting things or things i could fix, so that i could provide help for others. (Like missing DLLs, other fixable errors, fixme's that i could fix, etc). The only thing i wouldn't touch is DirectX ;-) > Therefore proper approach is to use > profiling tools to find out what functions are slow in WINE. Read [1] > for a brief introduction.
