It’s *a* right vm - it is a recent plain interpreter with the speeded-up bitblt . There is a slightly faster vm  - a stackvm also with the betterblt - in the nuScratch alpha test packages. The latest one is at

but you’ll have to fiddle around with installing the executables and plugins. It’s about 50% faster at typical compute jobs. A full Cog is coming but don’t hold your breath.
