I'd love to see measurements. In Etoys we don't really use Windows much. But viewers etc. are made up of many morphs, so this could very well be an improvement.
I would suspect significant improvements if the majority of the flags move directly into a bitflags field in class Morph. It reduces space usage and speeds up access. However, migration of old projects will be tricky.

I tested to load the change set and found out we already have MorphicExtensionPlus:
"Adds inst vars layoutPolicy and layoutParameters to vanilla MorphExtension, for greater speed and to reduce the need for use of the otherProperties dictionary."
so maybe the speedup is much taken care of...
