Wow, that sounds really bad... unless our experinces differ, I don't 
find wine to be /too/ much hungrier (a bit) than the equivalent native 
X application (i.e.: ms word vs. openoffice writer).

This is going a bit off-topic but.... you can compile just the Xserver 
and or drm kernel module from xfree cvs and even use some ./configure 
flags to turn off the various drivers you don't need IIRC (I always 
just suffer through the whole compile personally).  It's still probably 
a pretty big compile, but much less.  If you "xmkmf /path/to/xc" and 
"make depend," you can "make" the subdirectories just like wine, 
without getting sucked into the notorious "make World" invisible 
progress bar.

haha, I should have paid more attention!  the ".exe" was a dead 
giveaway...

gotcha.  I run winealsa too... but I've never tried midi.  My buddy owns 
cakewalk, I should give it a whorl sometime, and see what happens.
