Well, depends upon the use. For example, if I make stastistics of instVars, looks like there is a lot more of them on a full image, as well as classes. Make this stat takes serveral minutes. Maybe it doesn't change much on general use though..
: What helps speed for me is: : * screen resolution 1024x768x256 (instead of 16bpp)
I am running at 800x600x16bpp. I have tried at 800x600x256, it speeded up. I'll test some more see if that worth changing.
: * using a newer version of Squeak (2.4b)
I am using 2.4c (updated from server).
: * not using Morphic
Oops, there I would miss something! Every new things look like being done in Morphic. Though I agree, MVC is way faster.
Thanks, Ian
