We want to give an update here.

What is most important, if we are to use Wine on Linux as an interim solution until Sierra Chart is compiled directly to Linux, is network and file I/O performance.

The initial test we did with network I/O performance is just not acceptable. Network I/O performance is roughly about half. Very severe degradation when using Wine.

This might be because Sierra Chart is using overlapped I/O and limits the number of buffers to one buffer and allocates a large operating system receive buffer. This is perfectly fine on Windows though.

The reason for this is due to working around a problem with Linux with what looked like at the time out of order buffers coming from Wine, brought to our attention years ago.

We have confirmed, that Wine is delivering buffers out of order. We will develop a solution to this problem and increase the number of receive buffers to more than 100 and test again.

We are not very hopeful it is going to make much difference, since there is already a large operating system receive buffer anyway, but we will see.
