Hello,


can anyone tell me were to find the earliest available 3.9 alpha image?

I want to identify the cause of the slowdown of browsers when you have
many of them opened.

  http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.smalltalk.squeak.general/108359

I am using the benchmark from Andreas. So far I see the problem in the
current squeak-dev 3.9.1, Squeak3.9b-7029.image. Browser speed is OK
in Squeak3.8-6665.image (Squeak3.8-6665-basic.zip).

Cheers

Matthias

PS: Benchmark results on my machine:
"Run this several times, do not close browser windows."
win := Browser openBrowser topView.
win extent: 600 at 350.
br := win model.
br setClassOrganizer.
br systemCategoryListIndex: 2.
World doOneCycle.

Transcript cr; show: [1 to: 10 do:[:i|
       br classListIndex: i.
       World doOneCycle.
 ]] timeToRun.
