Hi,
When running the Wine Test Shell to run the tests as part of http://test.winehq.org/, there are several timeouts in different places.
These may be valid timeouts, but on my Vista test machine ddraw:d3d and msi:install generate the timeout message box part way through the test run, even though they continue and complete. Those tests are just slow.
If you don't have a 3D accelerator(e.g. running in a VM), the ddraw d3d and visual tests will attempt to use the RGB software rendering device, which *is* slow. Running the visual test takes a few minutes instead of a few secounds.
I've considered using the Reference rasterizer, which is even slower, as a fallback for the d3d9 tests, however, running the d3d9 visual tests in the refrast in qemu takes approximately 5 hours, so I dropped the idea. Furthermore the d3d9 refrast has to be installed separately.
