I tried OB on Pharo when I was looking into some FFI troubles. The main noticable difference was *incredible* sluggishness. Every single action was greeted with a 2-5 seconds pause. I kid you not. Granted, my computer isn't exactly the fastest, but those were all actions where with the regular Squeak browser I feel no noticable delay whatsoever.
I used a 2 GHz Intel processor, and got a delay of around a second every time I opened a new browser window in pharo-dev 0.1. (I used the OB clones of the standard browsers - not any of the new browsers or undocumented new features. Also, I don't know if other images perform better.)
To satisfy my curiosity, could someone point me to the results of any code profiling done on this issue?
