Here is a simple benchmark:

[1 to: 10 do:[:i| SystemWindow new openInWorld].
(SystemWindow windowsIn: World satisfying: [:w | w model canDiscardEdits])
		do: [:w | w delete]]timeToRun  

3.3 & 3.2vm & all windows prefs turned on:
     3421
     3355


3.3 & 3.2vm & all windows prefs turned off:
     2686
     2620

2.7 & 3.2vm:
     1638
     1693

2.7 & 2.7vm:
     1465
     1446
     1456 

This benchmark change a lot form pref settings etc but it's a noticeable
speed bump from 2.7 to
3.3.
