Is there any data on Squeak performance relative to Java or C++? Thanks,

I can't speak to such comparisons (I remember seeing off the cuff remarks about the non-Jitter VM being 40X slower than C?), but I did want to jump in about overall performance.
I'm running a Swiki server on a 486 dx/2 66 (I *really* have trouble with those identifiers ;) with 16 or 20 megs of RAM, and windows 95. In the background. On a fairly heavily used *lab* machine (i.e., Navigator, telnet, Word, etc.).
I get surprising good performance (considering I have to parse each page as it gets served). Simple optimizations (no brain burners; most of my improvement came from improving my parser, especially making proper use of streams) took me from on average 30 seconds to serve a page down to below 10.
That's nice ;)
