Is this slowness normal?

I have installed wine 20010629 from codeweavers (this seems to be the 
latest version available from there).

Running on a 700MHz Linux box, with gnome as the desktop manager and icewm 
as the window manager.

If I run the (in)famous SOL.EXE, it takes 53 seconds before the program 
appears on the desktop. All the other programs I've tried seem to take at 
least this long (and sometimes several minutes) before they appear.

Is this normal, or might there be somewthing screwy with my configuration 
file? The config file is almost unchanged from the file that came from 
codeweavers (I just changed the definition of the C: drive and added an 
extra hard drive).

(I checked the recent archives, and couldn't get a feel from the posting as 
to whether this is normal behaviour or not.)
