Poor Performance

[jfm]

Hello,

I am a new Wine on OSX user. I have an iMac running 10.8.4, 3.06 GHz Core 2 Duo, and 8 GB of RAM. I installed Wine via Homebrew (http://brew.sh/).

Opening a program like Notepad++ takes a least 2 minutes. When it does open, my CPU is constantly between 50-100%.

Is this normal for Wine? Are there any configuration settings I can use to speed things up?

Thank you.

Here is some Terminal output:

xxx:~ xxx$ wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Notepad++/notepad++.exe
err:process:__wine_kernel_init boot event wait timed out
fixme:ole:RemUnknown_QueryInterface No interface for iid {00000019-0000-0000-c000-000000000046}
fixme:imm:ImmReleaseContext (0x501b2, 0x196e740): stub

with this...
"err:process:__wine_kernel_init boot event wait timed out"
I'd guess something is messed up.
Did you try a new fresh wineprefix without installing anything into it first? Just a fresh wineprefix and run like the included notepad or regedit and see how it runs.

You need to find what is being installed that is causing that time out, because it should definitely not run that slow.

Thanks doh123! I'll give the fresh install a try. I also tried "wineboot --update" which seemed to improve things a bit.
