[Wine] Does installing mono from winetricks make some dotnet40 programs run faster?
Hi. I've got Dragon NaturallySpeaking 12.5 Home installed and tried installing mono 2.10 from winetricks. Now NatSpeak seems to load faster and run a bit better. Is it my imagination, or should I suggest it in the app db? BTW NatSpeak runs okay without it. Susan

If you have wine-mono or native .NET installed, installing mono with winetricks will have no effect, and I don't think things will work correctly without one of those. Also, I don't think NaturallySpeaking makes much use of .NET. Mono doesn't have a background service precompiling libraries, so that might speed things up generally while that bottle is started, but also incur a larger startup cost for .NET software.
