Gasp, sorry, didn't see that.  I've loaded it now.  Here are the
benchmark results:

[

XYPlotter example1 plot asMorph openInWorld.
XYPlotter example2 plot asMorph openInWorld.
XYPlotter example3 plot asMorph openInWorld.
XYPlotter example4 plot asMorph openInWorld.
XYPlotter example5 plot asMorph openInWorld.
XYPlotter example6 plot asMorph openInWorld.

] timeToRun.

15000

At this point the UI is so slow that moving a window or morph results in
a noticable lag (nearly a second between releasing the mouse button
after a drag until the object that was dragged is drawn in its new
location).
