One of the reasons Monticello doesn't scale well it because Squeak
doesn't scale well. Example when loading a Monticello package:

12 % of the time are spent doing nothing (Delay wait) because Squeak
figures out the mouse position. Every time it does that, it does 2 ms
of waiting.
30 % of the time Squeak is figuring out the category of a class. This
is so slow because it has to scan linearly over an array.
