Applications running under wine literally takes several minutes (10+ mins) to start. If I check with the system monitor, that application will just keep on sitting with the status pipe_wait under Waiting Channel.

And this is not with just one application, its with everything running under wine.

How do I go about troubleshooting this?

What version of Wine are you using? What specific program? Could be a dependency issue with that particular program. Have you checked the Wine App DB to see if there is anything you can do?

Try winetricks

Make sure you have your universe repository enabled, then:

sudo apt-get install winetricks

Winetricks is an easy way to work around problems in Wine.

It has a menu of supported games/apps for which it can do all the workarounds automatically. It also lets you install missing DLLs or tweak various Wine settings individually.

It can be used via GUI or commandline, whichever you prefer; the commandline mode is particularly useful as a building block in fancier wine frontends and in automated regression testing.

Here are a few tips on using Wine with Winetricks:
