Even if these are from within the system?

Okay. I had a discovery last night, when applying the Aqua look and feel to
latest Squeak 3.9. It's MUCH faster. Workspaces and Transcripts are opened
and ready in an instant from the Tools flap. Everything is much more
responsive, but I haven't looked in detail as to why. Relatively it has more
'Graphics' than the default, so something is strangely /wrong/ with the
default setup. I am quite happy that the level of interactivity has risen
this much =)

(I will try Boris' excellent work on fonts later today. (Good work!) Things
are becoming more exciting now ^_^)
