 Posted: Fri Jun 17, 2005 1:50 pm Post subject: Wine faster? |
 |
|
Could anyone please explain this to me?:
| Code: |
$ time wine Opera.exe
real 0m4.144s
user 0m1.526s
sys 0m0.405s |
| Code: | $ time opera
real 0m3.546s
user 0m1.663s
sys 0m0.223s |
Maybe I'm booting an emulated Gentoo?
Of course this is one of those  posts;) but would be good if someone could nicely say how come opera under wine is faster? |

| Code: | 1.526+0.405
=> 1.931
1.663+0.223
=> 1.886 |
So wine spents more system time (which I would think is a bad thing) and more total time (user+sys), so how is it under wine faster than natively? |

Also, please remember:
WINE Is Not an Emulator, so there's not really any reason to expect WINE to be slow. |

user 0m7.555s
sys 0m0.579s |

Hmm this looks really strange...
So can I use portage with wine?

Not really. Just download windows version of Firefox and N-JOY

Probably the reason for this is that you don't have the same plugins in the windows firefox than in linux... Or something else... I can't believe it

Everything I post here is true. I encourage you do try the same - install wine+FF and check starting times. I couldn't believe it neither, but it's how it is,... sadly.
'Windows-ppl' claim that FF under Linux feels slower than the same version and exactly the same set of additional plugins for Windows. Initially, I failed to believe that, but when I saw wine starting FF so fast I must admit what they're saying is a damn truth....
What I'm refering to all the time are starting times (second, third and so on), I'm not taking into account the general feeling of speed (you know, clicking on links, opening tabs, scrolling).
I dare think it's not only opera and FF which are significally faster emulated... |
