[Wine] what is faster: wine20041019 or 0.9

[Matthew L Reed]

Before 0.9, the UI with Wine and certain apps was much much slower - 
unusably slower in some cases, so much so that I had to revert to the older 
versions of Wine. Maybe a more important questions is, what has been done to 
speed up 0.9? If it is as sluggish as previous versions, then it will not be 
usuable for a lot of the things I'd like to do with it. What I don't know at 
this time, is if it's the fault of Wine, or issues with the apps.

Example - run eMule. It is unbearably slow. Is it eMule, or Wine?
