As far as WINE is concerned, it is but normal to find that MS windows-dedicated apps run abnormally slow because even if winehq says that wine is not an emulator, it still needs to decode every ms win-instructions into something that the linux kernel is able to understand. After which, it will TRANSLATE it back into something that the application can understand. So you have an overhead for the translation-retranslation beside the overhead the wine, the app, the linux kernel and everything in between. I think that there is no need to find out how fast wine runs, but rather how fast your application runs on top of linux using wine. Wine runs as it can but the translation-retranslation of instruction is usually the culprit behind the "slowness" of the application. You could try benchmarking your apps using wine and then benchmark it using native MS Windows OS and try to compare.

hi list.
i might not make any sense here, so correct me if i'm wrong. is there
a way to know how fast wine is running? i got wine installed and most
programs seem to be running ok, but it's painfully slow. but i don't
know if it's suppose to be like that.
my system:
compaq v2000, 512 MB RAM, 1.6 MHz Pentium M
running ubuntu breezy
thanks in advance.

Cubert: That's impossible. You can't go faster than the speed of light.
Farnsworth: Of course not. That's why scientists increased the speed
of light in 2208.
