Another thing that stroke me is peed... In 3.8 with the enhancement everything seems to be a bit slower than before (the UI in Squeak never was fast but I have the feeling it become slower with each new release...).
To get some numbers (they should probably be treated with care..) I evaluated "[ 10 timesRepeat: [ Browser openBrowser ] ] timeToRun" and got:
3.7 without LookEnhancement: 9674 3.7 with LookEnhancement: 12060 3.8 with LookEnhancement: 15665 3.8 without LookEnhancement: 11138
I cannot seem to substantiate these findings. Here's what I get after successive timed trials:
3.8 without LookEnhancements: 4 - 5 seconds 3.8 with LookEnhancements: 4 - 5 seconds
I saw no measurable difference in the timing, and, if any, the performance was marginally better for some goofy reason. Honest! I am running a P4 1.7GHz with 1 GB ram. Anyways, I don't find any hot spots to improve performance on at the moment.
