Description
I am using Picasa 2.7 Linux on Linux Mint KDE CE 4 on a Vista Host and Mandriva 2008 host and I notice that it is extremely slow. When I run Picasa, it can take up to 5 mins to appear. CPU time is running at 60% or so while idling. It's not disk related since I turned off scanning. Clicking on the Picasa menu and it takes several seconds to load. Note that I can run Picasa 2.7 at normal speed on the Mandriva 2008 host.
Looking at the task window, I think the problem may be due to Wine's interaction with Virtualbox. I notice that wineserver process runs at 30%+ and that running winecfg takes up a lot of cpu time (it should be close to nothing after launch). For some reason, wine and virtualbox don't get along.
There is at least one post in the virtuslbox forum detailing the same problem with wine.
