I'll point out that there are some additional things to be done to
build a high performance powerpc VM. IE changesets to make VM globals
into a structure. See the squeak sourceforge macintosh special build
folder for the changesets. Others have reported a 30% difference in
the VM speed between the stock and altered VM on the powerpc
platform. This as far as I know only applies to the PowerPC
architecture for the GCC 2.9x series of compilers.
Note the GCC 3.1 will produce a much slower VM on the powerpc
platform, it seems the optimizations which are very different aren't
VM friendly.
