Some arena operations (like resizing of the board) are painfully slow (perhaps 30 secs to do this) but the engine runs at 97% of normal speed. I find it fully usable as I do not resize the board very often (in fact, after the initial resizing, I have not had to do that since). I run Fruit native on Linux though I suppose I could also use Arena and Wine there also. Roy
