The app does a great job balancing the thread priorities. (It runs pretty
well on any Win32 OS). Increasing the priority of the complete wine system
seems to make things a bit better. But there is nothing running beside the
app (except wine and the X server).

Thanks, i will dig around a bit.

Mhh doh. Maybe i should hack the sheduler a bit.

Thanks a lot for you reply!
