HI all, I have Wine 1.3.26 installed on my Linux Mint 11 system, and have installed Steam. Steam runs, but it runs incredibly slowly, and causes the rest of the computer to also run very slowly. The odd thing is that the games I have (Portal and Half-Life 2) seem to run fine once they get going. Does anyone have any ideas, suggestions or pointers about what's going on and if there is anything I can do about it? Thanks in advance, Doug

They doing things that are not well optimized on wine. writes_on wrote:> Does anyone have any ideas, suggestions or pointers about what's going on and if there is anything I can do about it?Start steam in minimized mode "wine steam -silent". Or start game with "wine steam -applaunch <game-id>".

It's not always the same, and it constantly changes, with changes in Wine and/or Steam. Same happens on Windows, to lesser extent of course. Otherwise Valve wouldn't be making changes like this:> Fixed high CPU usage on some machines caused by WebKit windows running their frame loop at a fast rate even when not visible >
