## Performance tuning
|
||||
|
||||
Running Windows VST plugins under Wine should have minimal performance impact,
|
||||
but you may still notice an increase in latency and audio spikes. There are a
|
||||
few things you can do to get rid of most or all of these negative side effects:

but you may still notice an increase in audio spikes and overall processing
|
||||
latency. Luckily there are a few things you can do to get rid of most or all of
|
||||
these negative side effects:
|
||||
|
||||
- First of all, you'll want to make sure that your user is able to run programs
|
||||
with realtime privileges. Note that on Arch and Manjaro this does not
|
||||
necessarily require a realtime kernel as the `PREMPT` patch set is enabled on
|
||||
their regular kernels. You can verify that this is set up correctly by running

- First of all, you'll want to make sure that you can run programs with realtime
|
||||
priorities. Note that on Arch and Manjaro this does not necessarily require a
|
||||
realtime kernel as they include the `PREMPT` patch set in their regular
|
||||
kernels. You can verify that this is workign correctly by running
|
||||
`chrt -f 10 whoami`, which should print your username.
|
||||
|
||||
- The second, possibly even more important thing is to use a build of Wine with
|
||||
Proton's fsync patches. This can improve performance significantly when using
|
||||
a lot of plugins at once. If you're running Arch or Manjaro, then you can use

- The other even more important thing you can do is to use a build of Wine with

Proton's fsync patches. This can improve performance significantly, especially
|
||||
when using a lot of plugins at the same time. If you're running Arch or
|
||||
Manjaro, then you can use
|
||||
[this](https://github.com/nine7nine/pkgbuilds_nspa/tree/master/wine-nspa)
|
||||
audio production optimized Wine PKGBUILD. Aside from a patched version of Wine
|
||||
you'll also need a supported kernel for this to work. Manjaro's kernel
|
||||
supports fsync out of the box, and on Arch you can use the `linux-zen` kernel.
|
||||
Finally you'll have to set the `WINEFSYNC` environment variable to `1` to
|
||||
enable fsync. See the [search path setup](#search-path-setup) section for more
|
||||
information on where to do this. You can use the following command to check if
|
||||
this is set correctly:

patched copy of Wine you'll also need a supported kernel for this to work.

|

|
||||
```shell
|
||||
env -i HOME="$HOME" $SHELL -l -c 'echo $WINEFSYNC'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If this prints `1` then everything is set up correctly. You'll have to log out
|
||||
and back in again for this to take effect on applications launched from the
|
||||
GUI.
|

If this prints `1` then everything is set up correctly. Running `wineboot`
|
||||
from a terminal should now also print `fsync: up and running.`. You'll have to
|
||||
log out and back in again for this to take effect on applications launched
|
||||
from the GUI.

||||
|
||||
I don't know the what the best way to install an fsync patched version of Wine
|
||||
on other distros is, so if anyone knows more about this then please let me
|
||||
know and I'll add it to this section.
|
||||
If anyone knows a good way to install an fsync patched version of Wine on
|
||||
other distros, then please let me know!
