There's something wrong with your Dell.

I have a Dell Inspiron 8100 running Windows XP Home Edition, with a 1.0 GHz
P3, 512 MB RAM. On Squeak 3.7, I get:

	'101829753 bytecodes/sec; 3006636 sends/sec'

So with your 3x faster CPU, you're getting 20% faster bytecodes. Something
is clearly wrong...

Later,
Jon
