AGREED.  That performance problem is a real pity.  Squeak+Morphic should
be kicking butt for PDA applications, but it is hampered by needing
several megabytes of memory and a gigaherz of CPU.  Squeak could be
blowing Perl away, but the startup time just to read() the image file is
a killer.

Yes, just load an earlier Squeak.  I am amazed every time I try it.  I
can't imagine what is going wrong in newer Squeak's....
