[Wine] Re: Wine program resource usage question

Thanks for the response.

First of all, I need to say that the Windows program doesn't have this high resource usage phenomenon under Windows.  It just happens under Wine.

"top" shows that this particular program (called special.exe) taking a lot of CPU and memory during change of focus as I mentioned originally.  It doesn't use much swap space as my 4GB RAM is not depleted.

I will try to use sysstat, but I am not to sure what to look for.

I suspect more that it has to do with Wine's handling of GUI and graphics.  Anyone please advise some specifics about it.

Many thanks.
