wine much faster as root?

[Jonas Diemer]

Hi!

I have installed wine release 20011004 as a debian package.

I tested the performance using Q3 timedemo (i know there's a linux version of
Q3, but I figured the win version would be a good wine benchmark).

running wine as a normal user, I get 27,3 fps (in demo001), running as root I
get 39,1! I measured a couple of times, it's not a measuring error.

Why is there such a big difference? did I miss some setup?

regards

Jonas
