wine users - Jan 2008 - wine-0.9.53: slow startup, several stack dumps

Hello.

Between 0.9.52 and 0.9.53 were several changes that lead to a big slowdown
on starting wine. The log traces give the following info:

wine: Call from 0x7ee3812c to unimplemented function
ntoskrnl.exe.KeQueryActiveProcessors, aborting
wine: Unimplemented function ntoskrnl.exe.KeQueryActiveProcessors called at
address 0x7ee3812c (thread 000f), starting debugger...
Unhandled exception: unimplemented function ntoskrnl.exe.KeQueryActiveProcessors
called in 32-bit code (0x7ee381ac).

There are three dumps like this one; the unimplemented functions are

wine: Call from 0x7ee3812c to unimplemented function
ntoskrnl.exe.KeQueryActiveProcessors, aborting
wine: Call from 0x7ee3812c to unimplemented function
ntoskrnl.exe.KeQueryInterruptTime, aborting
wine: Call from 0x7ee3812c to unimplemented function
ntoskrnl.exe.IoCreateSynchronizationEvent, aborting
wine: Call from 0x7ee3812c to unimplemented function
ntoskrnl.exe.IoCreateUnprotectedSymbolicLink, aborting

Any hint on how to improve this?

Yes, wine now runs wineboot on startup to
load essential services.  It does seem quite
a bit slower to me, too.

Those are probably things you've installed that
never got activated until now.   Try renaming your
.wine directory, and install your apps one by
one until you find the one that causes the problem.
Alternately, look at the log traces you're seeing now;
at the end of the module list after the backtrace you
should see the absolute path of the executable
in question, and it'll probably be easy to tell which
app installed the problem executable.
