CogVM = wine and win32 CogVM on Ubuntu 10.4 same image, same system

Examples of I/O heavy stuff:

 CogVM:  3076

[saveMorphs := World submorphs.
World removeAllMorphs."heh, heh"
time := [1 to: 10 do: [:i |
      Browser fullOnClass: SystemDictionary selector: #macroBenchmarks].
      World submorphs do: [:m | m delete. self currentWorld doOneCycle].
] timeToRun ] ensure:[World addAllMorphs: saveMorphs].

PS: Running all tests with the win32 CogVM using wine will produce a fatal vm crash at some point
