Hi. I have just tested the Windows VM availables and tested the 1 tinyBenchmarks and running all tests of PharoDev RC3.

I tested with this Windows VMs:

1) The one that it is in pharo website (PharoVM-Win32-3.11.8):
2) The other one from pharo website (exupery-vm-0.15-win32):
3) THe new one that Andreas released today (SqueakVM-Win32-4.0.1-bin)

1) vm\SqueakVM-Win32-4.0.1-bin\

3) � SqueakVM-Win32-4.0.1-bin

has freetype

1 tinyBenchmarks
�'353835521 bytecodes/sec; 11294326 sends/sec'
�'415922014 bytecodes/sec; 12319712 sends/sec'
�'369675090 bytecodes/sec; 11149338 sends/sec'
�'373177842 bytecodes/sec; 9858402 sends/sec'

all tests geen

We suggestion is to remove the Exupery Vm from the pharo website.
The new version 4.1 doesn't seem to be improvements in speed and from what I read about Andreas comment, it only fixes problems for SqueakMap, which was removed in Pharo, and a change in the close event of the windows.
I would only let for download the PharoVM-Win32-3.11.8�

Cheers
