<div>
<br></div><div>In recent days I've written a script to build a Cog VMMaker image from Squeak 4.5. See <a href="http://www.squeakvm.org/svn/squeak/branches/Cog/image" target="_blank">http://www.squeakvm.org/svn/squeak/branches/Cog/image</a>. This has allowed me to run the current Cog VM against Spur side-to-side.</div>
<div><br></div><div>To build a Cog VMMaker image on my 2.2GHz Intel Core i7 MacBook Pro using the current Cog VM takes about 2 and a half minutes:</div><div><br></div><div><div>McStalker.image$ time oscfvm CogVMMaker.image BuildSqueak45Image.st </div>

<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>So this is loading .mcz from package cache, uncompressing, compiling, installing the packages.<br>I presume this qualifies as a macro benchmark...<br></div>I didn't follow the full flow of changes, how difficult is it right now to boostrap a spur.image?</div>
