Faster Wine application opening

Question

[Translation]
I want to open a game (Killing Floor) which in Windows opens very fast but when I try to the same in Ubuntu I find it slow.

Is there a way of opening .exe files in Ubuntu faster using more RAM or any other tricks?

I am using Ubuntu 12.04.

There are a couple of things you can probably do to help:

1) Add the wineserver program to your startup applications, so that it starts when you log in, and is always running.

2) Run wine-preloader /path/to/yourgame.exe, so that wine adds some of its data to a preload cache.

I'm not sure how much, if at all, these will speed up the startup process for the game. I don't use wine much, but haven't noticed any particularly long startup times with it, beyond the first run (when it builds font caches and such).
