Setting elevator=deadline results in wine+galciv loading without the
horrible long pauses but there is still chugging and while the AVIs
play, the rest of Gnome is unresponsive (ie can't switch windows by
clicking etc) though I can switch to Alt-F1 virtual terminal. Still not
as good as 260-test-2-vanilla
