Add as test for whether we are running on a slower system. Currently use an ARM cpu or SqueakJS as the discriminator, but future options might well include checking for Cog/Sista or even running an actual test and caching the result

Item was added: + ----- Method: SmalltalkImage>>isLowerPerformance (in category 'system attributes') ----- + isLowerPerformance + "Some operations - TestCases for example - need an idea of the typical performance of the system on which they are being performed. For now we will simply assert that running on an ARM cpu or as a SqueakJS instance is enough of a discriminator. Options for the future might also involve whether the vm is a full Cog or Sisata system, even actually measuring the performance at some point to be sure" + ^ (self platformSubtype beginsWith: 'arm') "Raspberry PI for example" + or: [self platformName = 'Web'] "SqueakJS"!
