terminal output

The game runs much slower than it used to: animations, character and mouse
movement are way too slow.
Reproduced the issue with nouveau/mesa 17.1.3 and nvidia binary drivers 381.22.
Disabling anti-aliasing and lowering detail level to the minimum doesn't help.

According to my testing the commit which caused the slowdown is

    wined3d: Do not pin system memory in wined3d_buffer_load_location().

Maybe a duplicate of bug #42588, although the symptoms are different.
With the previous commit the game runs much smoothly. 
For comparison, in Wine 2.11 I'm getting only 4-5 fps when using nvidia 381.22.
Before the regression Wine gave me 32-36 fps.

Steps to reproduce the issue with the demo:
1. download and install the demo, install native d3dx9_33.dll before launching
the game.
2. in the main menu start a new game, click <Next> on the character selection
screen, press <Skip>. You are in a training chamber: run around in the room,
rotate the camera using the right mouse button and observe how sluggish the
game is. You can save the game here so you can reproduce the issue more easily
the next time you enter the game.
