More on the slowdown

Kevin,

Given that the MessageTally indicates that most of the 14 seconds were spent in WorldState>>interCyclePause: and nothing indicates that you were actually trying to do interact with squeak, a better test might be:

- start the MessageTally
- do something like open a world menu or scroll a list or whatever seems to be slowing down
- stop the MessageTally

and do these steps with as little pause between as possible so that the MessageTally will tell us what happens while you are trying to work and not what happens while squeak thinks it has nothing to do.

Cheers,
Bob
