Hello!
I'm wondering, is there any reason for Squeak to be so deadly slow on iBook with 1.33 GHz Power PC CPU and 1 GB RAM and load it so much? Is it a feature of the PPC implmentation or Squeak itself? Is there any choice that in near future Squeak performace on PPC will improve?
Thanks in advance, Aleksandr Skobelev

Our definitions of "deadly slow" may be different. I run Squeak on an old iBook...
Machine Name: iBook G4 Machine Model: PowerBook6,5 CPU Type: PowerPC G4 (1.1) Number Of CPUs: 1 CPU Speed: 1.33 GHz L2 Cache (per CPU): 512 KB Memory: 768 MB Bus Speed: 133 MHz
...with less memory than you have and find it more than fast enough. What are you doing with Squeak?
