Hello,
One of our students is having trouble with very poor Squeak performance on Vista. I was hoping that someone with Windows experience could help diagnose his problem.

"Is anyone else having problems with Squeak being incredibly slow to respond? It was fine the past couple of days, but it just started happening to me tonight. I have reset Squeak, and my system. I have also downloaded new images. Nothing seems to help. Also, my HD light isn't on, nor is my comp processor utilization being eaten up. Any ideas?"
Also:
"I have closed most of the [Squeak] windows and that doesn't help." "I tried the roundedWindowCorners preference and the higherPerformance preference, and I changed the VM system configuration to disable "Reduce CPU usage". None of this helps. I am not doing any memory or internet intensive things. There is sometimes up to a 10 second delay between me clicking, and the World menu showing up. I am using VM Version 3.10.6 and Squeak system version 3.9.1. I have Windows Vista (unfortunately). I checked the Process Browser and idle process definitely is the max value averaging around 90% and the rest of the percentage going to the GUI and the auto-update. Any other thoughts?
Philip"
Thank you,
