I'm curious if anyone has seen this writeup on VM performance

I found the article very insightful and was curious how we stacked up.
Have written the author to ask about including us in future research.
Cheers. -Todd Blanchard
I know the author and share similar concerns. In fact, for stuff we do here with RSqueak/VM and GraalSqueak, we pay attention to at least some of the concerns Laurie mentions.
Have a look at SMark, which tries to give a reasonable benchmark set set.

also, there's our benchmark runner that builds on SMark

We also have a codespeed up here: http://speed.squeak.org/
Yea that does not all address the authors issues, but we try :D
Best regards -Tobias
