I've never had a problem with performance on SqueakSource. I don't
really know what SqueakSource does over the network, but it's pretty
common for network latency to be the dominant factor in performance
of things like this. From Michigan, I'm seeing a ping time of a bit
over 150 msec. For comparison, how is it looking from your location?
