Yes, I know. The word processor slows down as the current document
grows. I would guess that it uses O(n) algorithms. Tsk. Tsk.
BTW, I've decided to take the plunge and invest in a used laptop,
either a 486 or a Pentium. Does anyone know what the minimum
performance requirements are for getting decent performance from
Squeak and Morphic under Linux with X? I'm currently using a
Pentium 100 running Linux and Morphic is a bit sluggish but still
usable under that. How does it fare on a 486?
