I believe it.

It's like I was saying, Morphic itself used to feel pretty slow years ago
and now it's just fine.  The rounded corners stuff doesn't seem to be an
issue for many folks and it's a nice looking feature.

I'd rather have the quality look we can generate for Squeak and resolve
performance issues as they come up.
