    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.

    cu
    Adrian
