No such thing. If you're interested in the details you'll have to be 
more specific about what aspect you're interested in. Are you trying to 
make your graphics faster? In that case enable the preference 
#debugShowDamage and have a look at what is drawn when you change your 
model. Then add a profiler loop in your model which looks like this:

MessageTally spyOn:[
	1 to: 100 do:[:i|
		self changed. "whatever caused your model to change"
		World doOneCycleNow. "force redraw"
	].
].

At this point you should have an idea about where to look next.

Hope this helps.
