For few weeks, I looked around Squeak very serioulsy.
And I am very satisfed with its basic theory. 

But, when I face the overall performance, especially speed, 
it is hard to say that it is worth enough. 

Therefore, I am trying to find the reasons.

Maybe, have Squeak inherited from the notoriously slow Smalltalk 80? 
or  
is it already the best condition to perform on various platform?

Could you please give me some advice that what makes Squeak so slow?

PS.
I am running Squeak on Intel platform.
