why searching through <512 fleets on a modern computer can ever take 20 seconds is anyone's guess

The answer is probably going to be some variation of "the hardware is being used in a highly-inefficient manner" (this tends to be the case with indie games made with high-level tools, and is always the case with emulators; while Wine is not strictly an emulator I can believe that it wouldn't be as efficient as native code).

I mean, when I run Stars through DOSbox I have to wait for a second or so for the graphics to update every time I give an order or select something. I wish I could run Wine on Windows without having to use a Linux (virtual) box in-between (which was actually my previous Stars setup, but the d###ed thing decided to go kernel-panic on me for no reason).
