If anyone has more information on this, I'd be very interested to know it.
I'm running Squeak to support a Swiki on an Indy, and CPU use is very high.
 I'd like my Hypermedia students to use a Swiki, but the Indy also serves
as Web server for a number of Web sites for courses (including my own!).
So CPU use is important.
