Hi Michael, that's great that you found a solution to the start up lag, thank you for sharing the fix here.

For the next v3 beta I've updated to the latest Wineskin now (2.5.9) that has the fix for this problem. That version came out only a few days before the last v3 beta release and so I didn't want to risk updating it right then.

It seems to be working ok so the next v3 beta will use this version.

Thanks,
- Michael
