Absolutely! And since you've just learned something valuable about 
performance, why not share it on a Swiki near you?

I keep thinking that I need to get out to the Swiki and share my discoveries 
with others... OK, I just updated http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/squeak/1799 . I 
feel much better, thank you.

Are the Swikis growing? What needs to happen to make them more useful? It 
would be simple to provide quick access from Squeak to a meta-swiki search 
(like the translate and spell check choices already on the text menu). Would 
that be enough?
