I was just pawing around in the BraceNode support code, to clean up things so Jitter (and regular Squeak as well for that matter) will run a bit faster.  I ran across the following comment (must be ca 1985)...

    Time millisecondsToRun: [20 timesRepeat: [BraceNode example]] 1097 2452

If you ever feel Squeak is too slow, I suggest printing the time on your machine.

(Ian:  You may need to increase the loop count ;-)
