I've written a little how-to and provided two VMs. So would some people using Squeak on x86 Linux try to install it and let me know how you get on. (Just download a VM and install a package off SqueakMap).
The instructions are at: http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/squeak/3945
Exupery is a compiler for Squeak. It compiles bytecodes to machine code. Currently it's about 10% slower than VisualWorks on my machine for the byte code benchmark. Exupery gets about 540 million bytecodes/second and VisualWorks gets about 600 million bytecodes/second. There is plenty of room to tune Exupery's bytecode performance more but I'm resisting so I can work on send performance.
Have fun Bryce
