Hi,

Thank you.

There are versions available from http://www.mod.smalltalk.org. I'll be
putting a new squeak version out into the squeak map as soon as I can.

That's why I asked for people to give it a spin. This is the first real load
test on a production server due to problems we've had getting the vm working
on freebsd with our image. The freebsd vm has always been behind the
development windows vm till now. Also, for a longtime we were using
Smalltalk/X and had similar problems.

I'll give it a try.

Not likely to happen...

Oh, if anyone is hammering away please stop as I need to use the image for
development. I don't need any load testing right now. Please ask first. A
short bursts up to 20 requests would be fine Thanks. This is too early yet
for sustainted testing.... you know who you are at 81.0.x.x...

Thanks,

Peter
