Little more investigation done.
The load stops for only big locations, small locations load fine almost without
hickup. During the stop, there is almost no network activity, minor disk
activity (monitored via iostat), but heavy cpu usage by wine. All game files
are stored in Assets directory in *tor files which are MYP archive. Seems the
wine has problem wih reading and extracting files from the large archive (Nar
shaada has 300MB + 100MB archive).
