Yoel,

If you really mean 12 *minutes*, then something is slowing you down big-time. Your test case is going to consume over 10M of memory while running. Could you be short of real memory available to squeak? If you change your test to do

	MessageTally spyOn: [
		blocks _ lines findBetweenSubStrs: { crcr  }.
		objs _ blocks collect: [ :bl | LDAPObject fromStr: bl ].
	].

What do you get at the end of the report? How does it differ from this:

**Memory**
	old			+10,229,352 bytes
	young		-1,790,776 bytes
	used		+8,438,576 bytes
	free		-8,438,576 bytes

**GCs**
	full			0 totalling 0ms (0.0% uptime)
	incr		467 totalling 1,878ms (13.0% uptime), avg 4.0ms
	tenures		220 (avg 2 GCs/tenure)
	root table	0 overflows

Cheers,
Bob
