The stress test runs all the test classes in the system then compiles the top ten methods from each class then reruns it. That should be a reasonable test to show that Exupery is reliable enough to play with. This is the SqueakSource version not the released SqueakMap version which is buggy.
Congratulations Bryce on this great work (in progress), and thanks too. The idea of a significant speed increase "for free" is very exciting to me. After reading the pages at http://www.kampjes.demon.co.uk/ it's evident the complexity involved to achieve this is staggering.
I would like to get a whiff of it; I have some indexing stuff that spends most of its time doing Integer (including LargePositiveInteger) arithmetic, encapsulated into four or five methods. I am very curious to run my test case in an Exupery-loaded image.
Does it work in Windoze at the moment? Sorry, I did not find install / operational details on the site. I did load the SqueakSource version 113 but did not see any improvement in 0 tinyBenchmarks so I didn't bother with my indexing test..
