> Can you explain more clearly what you mean with vmstat?

Open shell window. Enter "vmstat 1". Run Wine application. Watch "cs"

An possible improvement would be also to use a larger number than 1 to get
values over long time.

Compare that value to the old kernel.

Yes, although it is just every 1+log2 changes

Type git bisect into google, there are lots of tutorials.
