Squeak 3.8 with big fonts is terribly slow

Hi,

For my lectures, I changed all fonts (lists, menus, code, ...) to 
ComicSansMS-17 Point-Bold.
But, it leads to a slow-down of reactivity. I have to wait (about 2 
seconds)  when selecting/resizeing/moving windows or openning 
menus/windows (up to 10-12 seconds when openning a filelist!).

BTW, I'm using mac carbon VM 3.8.9b1 on a G4 1.33Mz powerbook 12" with 
512M of RAM.
I made the test with a full 3.8-6665 image and a basic one also.
