Was the Transcript open? Because #show: is dog slow.
For me it takes some minutes to write 2356 things to the Transcript.

Yes I know that but in this case a put show: for force instances materialization because I need the name instance variable initialized from the repository.

Only for information these are my show: times,

"Closed transcript"

Time millisecondsToRun: [

1 to: 2356 do: [:each | Transcript show: 'String', each asString]] "10818 milliseconds"

"Open transcript"

Time millisecondsToRun: [

1 to: 2356 do: [:each | Transcript show: 'String', each asString]] "117107 milliseconds"
