I second that. Moreover, it seems that it's not that much of a performance hit (as experienced by the user, 4.1s vs. 4.2s), but rather higher CPU utilization. And for Wine, we have a ton of places which are a lot more used which are more wasteful. Not to say that we should waste cycles left, right, and center, but it does seem that this patch is certainly within acceptable limits, and with some tweaks to winsock (which will help other things as well) it can probably be significantly improved. -- Dimi.
