wine users - Oct 2011 - Saving M$- Word document takes 3 minutes

Hi all,

System: OpenSUSE 11.4. I have a NFS mount (options were inserted by YaST):

<server>:/home/User_Data/<user> on /home/<user>/Data type nfs
(rw,relatime,vers=3,rsize=131072,wsize=131072,namlen=255,hard,proto=tcp,timeo=600,retrans=2,sec=sys,mountaddr=192.168.1.1,mountvers=3,mountport=33365,mountproto=udp,local_lock=none,addr=192.168.1.1)

I have all applications use this mount for data, including Thunderbird's
.thunderbird directory soft linked to it. They all work happily over a 802.11bgn
mixed mode. The workstation is on a the LAN of a TLink with 802.11n mode and
with a WDS connection to the other TLink. All applications work instantaneously
with saving and loading data over this WLan. Saving the M$ document on the Wine
bootle Desktop is also instantaneous.

I installed M$-Word 2003 with wine-1.3.12 (with recommended Vista bottle) on
opensuse 11.4, with all the latest updates. When I save a document, it takes 3
minutes before I can work on the document again. Is there something wrong with
the mount or the Wine config? The NFS mount works for all other apps, but not so
well for Wine with Word.

Is it a Wine issue?

That Wine version is very old; upgrade. And I don't know who
"recommended" setting the version to Vista, but it was certainly no
one here. The recommended setting is XP.
