> Try 10000 factorial in squeak

I ran a little test at work yesterday, between my laptop (1 GHz P3) and my
work desktop (930 MHz P3). I was running Squeak 3.4 on my laptop, VisualAge
5.52 on the desktop.

Evaluating the following:

Time millisecondsToRun: [10000 factorial]

consistently took slightly less than 2 seconds on my laptop in Squeak, and
it consistently took around 6 seconds on the desktop running VA.

I guess all that primitive LargeInteger support pays off for stuff like
this...

Later,
Jon
