lowering hits to processor

[Bruce Dawson]

You can run strace/ltrace to see which system/library calls wine/Dragon
is making. That should give you an idea as to which resources its
pulling on. (I suspect it is memory extents or semaphores, but I could
be way off.)

Once you have it running, you may want to do a "ps auxw" and send it to
the list - some others may have ideas.
