Hi,
  I run 2.4c and have run 2.3 on both a 68k powerbook as well as a PPC
powerbook, both of them older and slower, and notice no real slowdown
with PWS.  I do pretty heavy development work on a PWS application on
100mhz 603e (think 120mhz Pentium) and the UI is just as fast whether
or not I run PWS.  I also run a Swiki on my 040 powerbook (think slow
486 or so) with Scamper and it runs fine.  It doesn't slow down any
when I start up PWS, and trust me here, I'd notice almost any
slowdown, it's slow enough as it is :-)

  Looking at PWS Class loopOnPort:loggingTo: I wonder if the problem
with other systems isn't in the Delay forMilliseconds:100 send at the
bottom?  If you didn't delay, or, if the delay was calculated wrong it
would spin very fast.  Maybe...

cheers

bruce
