Is this slowness normal?

A review of my HTML documentation didn't turn up any instance of the word 
"wineserver" :-(

Where can I find some info about wineserver can see how to try to start it 
persistently?

Incidentally, while I'm waiting for SOL.EXE to actually start, my CPU is 
sitting at 0%, so I don't know what wine is doing.

Oh, and I have 384MB of RAM, so that's not the problem (not that anyone has 
suggested that it is).
