quicken 2007 ungodly slow

[Dan Kegel]

I can run quicken 2007 (after a fresh
  wget kegel.com/wine/winetricks
  sh winetricks fakeie6 vcrun2005
and telling winecfg not to let the window manager manage windows),
but GUI updates are incredibly slow (as in, twenty seconds to
draw the main screen).   oprofile shows profiles like

samples  %        image name               app name                 symbol name
367948   60.6432  no-vmlinux               no-vmlinux               (no symbols)
57404     9.4610  libc-2.5.so              libc-2.5.so              (no symbols)

so perhaps it's going crazy on file i/o.  I haven't really
looked into this yet.  (I confess I was hoping to see
gdiplus as the smoking gun, but it never got above
about a percent.)

p.s. I don't have kernel symbols because I haven't figured
out how to find vmlinux on ubuntu yet, nor does ubuntu
make it easy to compile one.  (vmlinuz won't do, nor do
I know how to uncompress it.)
