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
