As far as I have seen with our logs, games generally compile shaders 
during game load,
but then are done with it. Do you mean you compile them again and again ?

I'm not expert, but I think we have sufficiently complex apps working 
perfectly to say we are more than 80% and near wine state (again, wine 
has some bugs we haven't, and nine has some bugs wine doesn't have, but 
that seems easier to solve).
