twenty-five (!) minutes. The installation otherwise progresses fine, except for a warning towards the end of the installation: "CompiledMethod>>who has been deprecated. use #methodClass and #selector directly", but you can still proceed in this case. The same installation in 3.8-6665 doesn't even take a minute.
I see the same slowness but not sure why. The relatively idle CPU seems very odd, as if there were network delay or delay on the other end.
There are several stages to the load process. The initial stages before "Loading..." (i.e., "Writing Definitions...") appear to be the most-significantly affected between 3.9/294 and 3.8/231. This is the stage where it identifies all the (prereq) packages and creates them, you can see them being added in the Monticello browser in the background. The "Loading..." stage seems to be about the same between the two (although I did not measure it with a stopwatch).
The Monticello-md.294 version appears to have less support for "required packages" in that they no longer show up in the bottom-pane of the Repository explorer when a package is selected as they do in Monticello-avi.231.
I managed to shoehorn Monticello-avi.231 into 3.9 to try to equalise the conditions. I had to hack in a couple of methods which may be skewing but it appeared not to help. I'm not sure what reliable conclusion I can draw from this, probably none..
I'm sorry I don't have any clear answers! I would go ahead and ask on squeak-dev or the monticello list.
I am glad to see adventurers blazing the trail to 3.9 ahead of me, thanks! I will try to catch up to you soon but it might still be a while. Just keep in mind that I have no idea how well Magma works in 3.9 right now, you should at least run the test cases successfully in 3.9 before doing anything beyond playing around.
