When I ran it, it took about ten seconds.

  Time millisecondsToRun: [converter bootstrapImage: 'Squeak5.3beta-19335-64bit.image'] "==> 10031"

This is on a fairly old Linux laptop PC with "Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4710MQ CPU @ 2.50GHz" CPU.

Converting a full image from one image format to another is not a frequent
operation. I would be more than happy if it could be done in about a minute,
so seeing it completed in ten seconds looks pretty darn good to me.

Maybe somebody can report results on a Raspberry Pi :-)
