It's all new code.  Here's the timing for just updating, but I'm not sure
this is apples-to-apples because Kernel System and Collections differ
between the two packages, and because there's a lot of network delay in
this comparison:

McStalker.image$  time spurcfvm CogVMMaker-spur.image
UpdateSqueakTrunkImage.st
real    0m45.886s
user    0m12.751s
sys     0m0.690s
McStalker.image$ time oscfvm CogVMMaker.image UpdateSqueakTrunkImage.st
real    0m35.929s
user    0m6.235s
sys     0m0.603s
-- 
best,
Eliot
