e-Sword 8.0.6--the last release under the 8.0.x series works fine under CO Linux 7.1.0. When I updated to the latest Crossover release (8.0) e-Sword slowed to a crawl and ran terribly. Probably some regression in the 8.0 version of Crossover Linux.
It's bad enough that the 9.0.x version of e-Sword doesn't yet work under Crossover Linux without a new version of Crossover Linux causing issues.
Here's to hoping that a solution will be forthcoming shortly...
