strange....

Hi

I've been using http://ftp.squeak.org/3.9/Squeak3.9a-6693.zip. Was  
not aware that there are more of those in different versions (I see  
Squeak3.9a-6693md4.zip and Squeak3.9a-6693md5.zip but I don't know  
what that is).

Stef, which one did you use?

Daniel, what we did is:
- take a 6693 image
- load 6694upgrade...
- load 6695loadScr...

The two scripts were posted by Stef yesterday to this list. That all  
works fine for me. Even after flushing the MC caches, my image comes  
down to 14.3MB.

Marcus tried too and reported:
-> It takes a long time. maybe two hours on my powebook
-> no conflicts, no merge dialog
-> But the image is 19MB large, even after emptying the cache.
     (I did save the image one before cleaning the caches, as it
      was unusably slow)

So, also there some difference, at least in the image size.

It would be good if somebody else could run this and report if it  
works correctly.

It would also be nice if somebody could investigate into improving  
MC's performance. This would be very welcom,e not only in this case  
but in general, e.g., we drink too much coffee at netstyle.ch because  
committing/merging always takes minutes... ;-)
