This link (http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/pipermail/exupery/2008-November/000322.htm... ) is fairly informative.. and i will keep digging around. I have been running Pharo exclusively in recent times, so I will need to see which version of squeak to get, etc.

Thanks for the reply Bryce.
There are a lot of references scattered around... and I am at a loss just getting started. Could you please point me to the best, latest documentation? I did read your recent release note, and last winter I watched a presentation of yours.
I am fairly new to squeak & pharo and I have not yet generated the VM's C code -- i don't where to begin to do that. -- I am amazed, given the speed of these new computers, that squeak and pharo "feel sluggish" at all.
Also... are these current VM's 64 bit? And, is it easy to see the FFI code once I have generated the C?
Thanks in advance, Cam

Exupery itself may need a little more work before it's providing a practical performance improvement. It can speed up real code now, and it will do better with a little tuning of the profiler that drives compilation.
