Hi,

I just noticed that an

  Array new: 10000000  "ten millions"

noticablely slows down Squeak (open it in an inspector or assign
it to a global (or workspace) variable).  Actually, it's now nearly
impossible to work with Squeak.  If I do a

  ByteArray new: 40000000

which should take the same amount of memory, no such effect occurs
so I guess it's a garbage collector issue.  Right?  Is there a 
workaround?

bye
