[Newbies] Version 5.0 running hot

[Chris Muller]

Hi Joseph, nothing in the base Squeak 5 should make your image that busy.

You might be able to get a list of things your image is doing by
executing this code in a workspace:

   MessageTally spyAllOn: [ (Delay forSeconds: 10) wait ]

Wait 10 seconds for the window to appear.
