As far as I know, MVC in Squeak has always done this, so it's not a new problem. (I remember up until 2.4 or so, Morphic did it too...)
No. For a bit over 2 years MVC hasn't hogged CPU in most of its idle states. See Controller>>interActivityPause and its senders. And on *my* nice slow machine, with Squeak 2.9a-3193, it in fact works fine -- MVC takes very low CPU when idle.
It's probably the same bug, a #< where #<= would be appropriate:
wait < MinActivityLapse "big waits happen after a snapshot" ifTrue: [DisplayScreen checkForNewScreenSize.
What an idiot of a programmer; it's really amazing that this code ever woked.
