Folks,
a very small but effective enhancement for StarSqueak worlds. To quote from
the preamble:
Allow custom StarSqueak worlds to go faster by varying the kind of
Dictionary that the patch variables are kept in. The default is still
Dictionary, subclasses may substitute IdentityDictionary, and then have to
use e.g. Symbols as patch variable names.
This does not automatically affect the supplied StarSqueak worlds, but it
does help the upcoming StarSqueakLife, as profiling has shown.
Cheers,
Helge
